HBR's 10 Must Reads on Mental Toughness (with bonus interview "Post-Traumatic Growth and Building Resilience" with Martin Seligman) (HBR's 10 Must Reads) Paperback – January 9, 2018

One of my favourite books in mental thoughtfulness- lots of great learning stories

Must read book. Very easy read and was perfect for the airplane flight. I have recommended to many.

So I love these HBR Top 10 Reads. The Best to date is still the one on Emotional Intelligence in my opinion. I would like to add that this specific one was still a great compilation of reads.

Some of the articles collected in these HBR books can be old, esp. in a time where things change so fast. However, for topics such as mental toughness, time lapses slower rendering these articles more relevant. I had a good read of all the articles in the book. While you cannot expect to build resilience or mental toughness just by reading, it does trigger you to think deep questions on what truly motivates your or is your spiritual north star. If you have a philosopher-like mindset like me, you will enjoy reading them and pondering over the ideas until your mind will assimilate some. It also suggests some practical things you can do to build mental toughness which I find helpful.

This book on mental toughness is a must read at the age of Covid19.Most of the lessons are beyond a single event or adversary, its life long lessons that deal with multiple types of chaos and vulnerability are much needed for nearly everyone.Some articles were better than others. However this might be due to the relevance to my specific situation.

Some interesting thought nuggets in this collection of stories. Some of the stories are inspiring, some are less inspiring. On to the next one.

Really liked this collection of articles. As with many HBR materials they have a lot of insight that can be useful with some different perspectives added in. I read this in a short time and have loaned it out to one of my colleagues.

Great collection of articles.
