Bounce Back
by Susan Kahn
A business psychologist's practical guide to resilience at work: understanding your reactions to setbacks, reframing, managing energy, building support and recovering from failure or redundancy. It is clear, applied and avoids both toughness talk and platitudes.
Read it if…
you have had a professional setback and want practical recovery steps.
Skip it if…
you want a deep psychological treatment; this is applied and brief.
Three things you will actually use
- Separate the event from the story.
- Protect sleep and movement first; they are the base.
- Ask for help specifically.
Do this first
Write what happened, what you made it mean, and what else it could mean.
Our verdict
Practical and grounded; a useful workplace resilience guide.
