What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

We're endlessly being told that if we want to be successful in life we have to be tough and stubborn. If we struggle, it's because we're weak and uncertain. Bruce Daisley thinks this is simply untrue, and in his new book the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Joy of Work takes the notion of resilience apart, explains how it really works, and puts forward a new programme for building self-confidence and tenacity. He calls it Fortitude.

In this book, Daisley disproves the myth that only extraordinary people are successful, shows how to achieve a sense of control through simple mind exercises, and, above all, demonstrates how we can draw on those around us to empower ourselves and build our inner-strength. Offering empirically tested advice, Fortitude sets out a practical path to greater self-confidence and courage, not just for the elite few, but for us all.

Critics Review

  • I love it . . . it hooked me right in . . . A fantastic book.

    Chris Evans

  • This is a truly refreshing, captivating and important book that shifted my perception on a topic I thought I knew! A must read.

    Steven Bartlett, entrepreneur and host of 'The Diary of a CEO'

  • A fascinating and important pushback against the narrow, joy-eroding version of ‘resilience’ that would leave us to sink or swim alone, Fortitude is an indispensable guide to a more energising, human, and effective approach to working and thriving in a post-pandemic world.

    Oliver Burkeman, author of 'Four Thousand Weeks'

  • Surprising and challenging. Fortitude encouraged me to re-think not only my work but how I live my life.

    Sarah Ellis, co-author of 'The Squiggly Career'

  • A book that confirms what I’ve always believed, that we can’t be resilient on our own. In fact resilience is about all of us being stronger than any of us.

    Gary Lineker
