How to Build Resilience in Your Employees and Yourself
Throughout this podcast, Seligman speaks about the most recent adaptation of the Resilience program for the US Army and the amazing results that have been achieved there. He mentions the importance of learning what post-traumatic growth is, and explains how this idea can alter the reactions of individuals who find themselves in life-altering situations. As the “Father of Positive Psychology”, his work with the Penn Resiliency Program is aimed at helping these individuals suffering traumatic events find the strength to look beyond their tough times. The ideas help people realize that depression and anxiety are normal to some extent, and what you are able to alter is how you react following that depression and anxiety.
