Details Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780008356958 Publisher: HarperCollins Overview The Art of Resilience is bestselling author Ross Edgley's deep dive into mental toughness, drawn from his own record-breaking endurance feats. This brand-new paperback distils lessons from extreme athletes, military specialists and psychologists into a practical framework for building a resilient mind and body. It's an inspiring, evidence-based read for anyone facing adversity, chasing a fitness goal, or simply wanting to think and train like a true endurance athlete. About the Book Ross Edgley became the first person in history to swim around the entire coastline of Great Britain, a 1,780-mile, 157-day odyssey that redefined what most people believe is humanly possible. In The Art of Resilience, he turns that lived experience into a study of what actually makes people mentally and physically unbreakable. Rather than offering vague motivational platitudes, Edgley interviews and studies elite athletes, Special Forces operators, and leading sports psychologists to uncover the repeatable habits behind resilience, persistence and a disciplined mindset. The book blends stoic philosophy with modern performance science, covering topics such as pain tolerance, recovery, breathwork, visualisation and the psychology of pushing through when quitting feels like the only option. Edgley's voice is candid, self-deprecating and full of first-hand anecdotes from his own extraordinary expeditions, which makes complex ideas about mental fortitude feel grounded and achievable rather than abstract. Whether you're an athlete preparing for a major event, a professional facing high-pressure challenges, or someone simply working through a difficult chapter in life, the strategies here are designed to be applied immediately, not just admired from a distance. It's a book about earning resilience through deliberate practice, not waiting for it to appear when you need it most. Written by a Guinn
