In my still-to-be-published novel, Doom Healer, my young hero has been kidnapped, and is on the Moon. He is allowed to phone his family and says, “You know I’m a pogo stick: the harder you jump on me, the higher I bounce back.”
That’s resilience.
In his serialisation of From Depression to Contentment, Ernest Dempsey has reproduced my discussion of how to improve your pogo stick-ability.
In today’s sick world, resilience is essential for survival. Do read it, and please send others along.
