Self-Help
Adversity is one of the most potent forces in life. It
shapes your character, clarifies your priorities, and
defines your path. It can also fuel your greatness. Each of
us faces a rich assortment of adversities every day, ranging
from minor hassles to major setbacks and challenges, even
tragedies. But merely coping with or overcoming adversity
barely keeps you in the game. The key to success, both in
business and in life, is learning how to become an alchemist
and convert any adversity, major or minor, into a genuine
advantage. The Adversity Advantage offers proven principles
and practical tools that teach you how to use adversity as a
force for superior achievement, resilience, agility,
innovation, energy, and happiness. Stoltz and Weihenmayer posit that any individual or
enterprise can use adversity to power their ultimate
success. Stoltz has spent decades decoding the human
relationship with adversity and is the creator of the
globally acclaimed Adversity Quotient®. His AQ® theory --
the most widely used method in the world for measuring and
strengthening how we deal with adversity -- forms the
foundation of this book. Weihenmayer is the exemplar of
Stoltz's work and the seven principles taught in this book.
He has triumphed over and gleaned tremendous advantage from
seemingly insurmountable adversities, becoming the only
blind man in history to reach the Seven Summits, the tallest
peak on every continent, including Everest. These two
adversity experts have married their dream-team combination
of practical science and unmatched experience to develop
seven guiding principles to teach you how to transform
adversity into your most powerful advantage. The Adversity Advantage blends Stoltz's proven leadership
techniques and groundbreaking research with Erik's
soul-stirring real-world anecdotes and wisdom. It will
rewire your core response mechanisms to react optimally to
anything that happens, the moment it strikes. You will move
past avoiding or simply coping with adversity to harness its
true power. Learn to pinpoint and grow your adversity
strengths to bring out your best when you need it most,
under pressure. Use adversity to pioneer new possibilities
in your work and life.
