What is resilience? Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress, such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors.

As much as resilience involves “bouncing back” from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth. Find out here how to build your resilience, how to help others do the same, and why Denmark is believed to be the most resilient and happiest country in the world.
