Description
Bouncing Back is about rebounding from failure, loneliness, disappointment, disaster and grief. It’s about discovering resilience we never knew we had.
Andrew Matthews pinpoints the seven critical things that resilient people do – that we can do too. Andrew shares stories of people who were broke, shattered, defeated – and reveals how they got back up. Inspiring and humorous, Bouncing Back is illustrated with Andrew’s much-loved cartoons.
He explains:
- that everybody fails and everybody hurts
- why most disasters are not total disasters
- why persistence matters more than talent
- that life can be even better after disappointment and disaster.
Says Andrew, “No one is born extraordinary. We become extraordinary, resilient, unstoppable by conquering challenges we didn’t choose.”
Already a bestseller in SE Asia, Bouncing Back is recommended reading in corporations like Dell, Motorola, Intel and Citibank.
