Resilience is the primary challenge for individual, business, government and the planet.

Humanity is actively forcing evolution, wellbeing, culture, and environment.
Environmental risks from climate, pollution and disease escalate
Leadership for a viable future is largely ineffective
Marked inequality in quality of life, wealth, and health outcomes
Ecosystems and biological diversity face collapse
Resilient people can hold these tensions.
The foundation of civil society and a resilient planet is to reduce suffering and increase quality of life. We must manage the tension between present and future. Creating a viable future – individual, business or planet starts with you. When your resilience is high, hope and creativity follow. When your resilience fails you, fear, frustration and despair make you suffer and render you into a destructive force.
About resilience.
What is resilience?
We define resilience as a learned ability to bounce, grow, connect, and flow. These four capabilities define the evolution of every species in its eco-niche. They are as true for a beetle as they are true for humans, businesses, communities and the planet. Resilience is not sustainability or robustness. It is the capacity to grow through adversity, evolve, develop, connect and create.

The science of human resilience.
Our spiral model.
We model resilience as a integral measure of the state of a human being. The resilience spiral is designed as an accurate and precise framework to describe your state. Based on sound physiology and neurobiology we can be more precise about where we are on the spiral and how we got there.
