The Resilience Shield is the culminated experience of three SAS veterans — Ben Pronk (his brother), Tim Curtis, and Dan Pronk. They developed The Resilience Shield after examining the impact of extreme stress and how people stay strong in the face of overwhelming circumstances.

This book has all our research on stress and resilience, with personal experiences and stories of incredible people we're lucky enough to know.
