Publisher's Summary

Ten principles for leading your family to true resilience, from the best-selling author of Spartan Up and the CEO/founder of Spartan.

Joe De Sena has spent his life running toward challenge and discomfort. Why? Because how we react to challenging situations defines us and our families. The only tools we have as humans to survive the many peaks and valleys of a full life are preparedness, health, leadership, and most importantly, resilience. Why do so many parents struggle to finish things we start, delay gratification, and protect our health - and why do our kids continue to struggle in every facet of life? Because we haven’t showed them a path to resilience, and we haven’t fought for it ourselves.  

In 10 Rules for Resilience, Joe De Sena outlines his 10 principles for leading your family to true resilience, a term he uses for a body and mind that have been carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. It takes true resilience to approach overwhelming situations with calm and confidence, to not get rattled, anxious, or angry, and even to embrace failure, setbacks, and redirections.

Kick Ass Message

Joe hit so many key points in family dynamics that everyone could benefit from hearing the views mentioned. Not just adults but teenagers as well. At the beginning of the book, some things he said about kids now-a-days made me chuckle(laugh) which is hard to do when reading a book for me. Ya, Joe, you got me! Ha ha.
I’m a self-driven individual who loves a challenge and will take on almost anything, but Joe suggested some areas on the home front where I was lacking but my wife was not. That hit me hard because I thought I was thinking the correct path. 🤷‍♂️ Joe made me think more about each decision I have to better push myself in ways I didn’t think I needed to work on.

Hope this motivates someone else to give this book a listen or read to see what they might find out about themselves.

Thanks Joe.

Incorporate endurance sports into family life

Joe explains how to avoid teaching kids learned helplessness, how to stop avoiding discomfort and risk, and how to train patience and delaying gratification. He also explains why all of these are important for children and their parents. A very good book, especially for those with tendencies to overparenting.
