Resilience: discussing the concept and better understanding the phenomenon

Resilience has been a much-discussed topic lately, due to the countless and growing forms of adversity that must be faced in everyday life. However, it is a complex concept that warrants deeper reflection. This book contributes to our understanding of why, when faced with the same conditions understood as adverse, some individuals develop satisfactorily or grow, apparently overcoming the limits of the human condition, while others succumb, develop pathologies or victimise themselves.
