PRESS RELEASE: New Tasmanian Book Offers A Manual To Navigate An Increasingly Uncertain And Disrupted World
With more people reporting feeling stressed in 2020 than anytime this century, Resilience by Design provides a solution for those ready to do something different
Hobart, Australia. As people around the world continue to experience uncertain and turbulent times, a cutting edge book Resilience by Design produced by Tasmanian-based author Ian Snape provides the manual for how to survive and thrive right now and into the future.
Resilience By Design: How to Survive and Thrive in a Complex and Turbulent World is published globally by Wiley (New York) as a fully illustrated handbook written as the antidote to the global epidemic of the 21st Century: Stress.
Ian and his co-author Mike Weeks formed their company Frontline Mind to train frontline professionals in a range of industries such as healthcare, law enforcement and child safety how to expand their choice of responses in high-pressure situations and go home safely. It soon became clear that these techniques and strategies could be applied to anyone, no matter their background or current situation. Resilience by Design is the culmination of three years of research off the back of over ten years of work training frontline professionals in these same techniques across the globe.
Ian Snape, lead author of Resilience by Design and CEO of Frontline Mind, leads the company from Hobart, Tasmania. Dr Snape has a background as a polar expedition leader, University Professorial Fellow and executive within the Australian Government, as well as coaching martial arts, executives, and frontline professionals.
“We didn’t want to put out another dry, academic paper on the problems the world is facing,” said Dr Snape. “Our focus is instead on the choices we can all make to do things differently, and enable as many people as we can to survive and thrive in our complex and turbulent world.”
Resilience by Design is available now online and in bookshops. A launch event will be held in Hobart on Tuesday, December 7th at the RACV Hotel, in collaboration with Fullers Bookshop. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.fullersbookshop.com.au/event/resilience-by-design/
