Navigating Adversity: A Self-Care Field Guide for the Mission Critical Mind - Paperback

by Rodger Ruge (Author), Renee Thornton (Author)

In an applicant pool of one hundred, only four meet the psychological standards for mission-critical work. You are the 4%: wired to protect, selected to serve, equipped for what others can't handle. But no one taught you how to protect the very psychological makeup that uniquely qualifies you for this work. Navigating Adversity is the research-validated toolkit for building wellness across every dimension: physical, psychological, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, financial, social, and professional. Used by more than 10k mission-critical professionals, this second edition delivers what most wellness programs miss - including the critical distinction between true burnout and the understimulation that mimics it. There is no resilience without adversity. You were built for both. Now build the capital to sustain it.
