  Building Resilience Futures is a very useful book for anyone in a leadership role in an organisation or business. Exploring resilience from a number of angles, including personal, organisational, and national, the author pulls together important threads from each to present a holistic view of developing and maintaining resilience. Resilience is a journey with a destination that changes constantly: and this book provides an important navigational guide.

• Dr Chris Needham-Bennett,

  Passionate, persuasive, and a wake-up call to national resilience complacency. This is not a 'handbook', it is a grenade tossed into the meandering procrastination of national resilience. This a brilliant summary of the enormous challenges of gaining ultimate 'resilience'. Hugely entertaining and challenging. The author’s overview of all aspects of resilience broadens the resilience debate to where it should be. At last, an enjoyable 'must read' for anyone involved in the field. Very simply, professionals, practitioners, students, government ministers, and business leaders should read this now. 'A safer, better world?' – it might be if people read the book and act on it.’

• Dr Pippa Malmgren

  Covid-19 has made us more resilient but now is not the time to claim victory. It's time to read Building Resilient Futures.’

• Michael Center

  Whether a single parent struggling to feed a family, or a nation fighting to take care of its citizens, adversity and crisis impact us all. The resilient are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and move forward. The author does a masterful job of capturing these themes across multiple levels and how to be better prepared.’
