The chapter challenges traditional definitions of resilience, highlighting its complexities and societal implications. It emphasizes the importance of community support, privilege, and interdependence in fostering resilience, juxtaposing against the individualistic narratives often associated with the concept. The guest author's insights on the 'resilience myth' bring attention to the societal pressures and expectations surrounding resilience, particularly in the wake of traumatic events like 9-11 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
