How To Rise
Happy New Year listeners! Have you made any New Year's resolutions? Have you decided that 2025 is the year where things are going to be different? Have you been thinking about boundaries? Or about well-being? Or about that hideous word resilience which is so misused by NHS managers and has come to be a bit of a dirty word when actually the concept is a really good one.
Today, I'm delighted to be talking to Chrissie Mowbray and Karen Forshaw about their book, How to Rise: a Complete Resilience Manual. This is a really innovative book, which is all about providing us with easily accessible tools to make us better, to be thinking about resilience in a sense of emotional resilience, psychological resilience, physical resilience, relationship resilience, and to try and be better versions of our best selves. It's a really accessible, useful book and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Chrissie and Karen.
