BOUNCING BACK! is about rebounding from failure, loneliness, disappointment, disaster and grief. It’s about discovering resilience we never knew we had.
Andrew Matthews pinpoints the 7 critical things that resilient people do – that WE can do too. Andrew shares stories of people who were broke, shattered, defeated – and reveals how they got back up.
Inspiring and humorous, BOUNCING BACK! is illustrated with Andrew’s much-loved cartoons.
He explains:
  • that everybody fails and everybody hurts
  • why most disasters are not TOTAL disasters
  • why persistence matters more than talent
  • that life can be even better after disappointment and disaster.
Says Andrew, “No one is born extraordinary. We become extraordinary, resilient, unstoppable by conquering challenges we didn’t choose.”
 
Already a bestseller in SE Asia, BOUNCING BACK! is recommended reading in corporations like Dell, Motorola, Intel and Citibank.
