*Resources on Building Resilience*
Resilience is key for building strength, especially during stressful times. Thankfully, research shows that resilience can be learned. If you want to learn more about building resilience, please see the following resources from Dr. Antoine de Morrée, an instructor in neurological sciences and stem cell biology at Stanford University. Antoine’s work has been published in numerous scientific journals including Science and Nature, and he has received multiple awards for his research and leadership. He is a Stanford-certified Compassion Facilitator and author of the book Magnetic: How Great Leaders Persuade and Inspire.
Dr. De Morrée is currently hosting an 8 weeks course on Resilience through Stanford Continuing studies. The registration closes on Friday and the link is below.
