030: Resilience in Challenging Times - Chatting with Dr Lucy Hone
In this episode, Dan & Tim chat about a conversation Tim had with Dr Lucy Hone for a book he is working on exploring the link between resilience and mindset.
Dr Lucy Hone is a director of the New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing & Resilience, adjunct fellow at the University of Canterbury, a published academic researcher, best-selling author, and blogger for Psychology Today. On Queen’s Birthday weekend in 2014, the sudden death of her 12 year old daughter, Abi, forced Lucy to turn her substantial academic training and professional practice to foster resilience in very personal circumstances. Resilient Grieving, the best-selling book she wrote in the aftermath of Abi's death is now available in the US, UK and NZ.
