Cynthia explains how we have moved from relatively simplistic understandings of resilience to more flexible and essentially hopeful constructs. Dr Eriksson talks of the central place that Contemplative Practices play in her own life, and the important role that gratitude, joy and sharing play in ensuring resilience.
