In the book

At its simplest, it is the ability to keep going in the face of difficulty, to bounce back from a setback, and to manage your darker emotions without letting them drag you into a downward spiral. Fill that out and you get the whole portrait: tenacity when you have fallen short, the courage to continue despite real disappointment, the belief that you can and will do better if you put in the work, an openness to learning, and the plain stamina to persevere. The foundation under all of it is a single, freeing fact: the one thing in this world you always control is your response to adversity. When we go through hell, it is human to look for someone to blame — but blame is useless; all that finally matters is how you respond. — Failure & Resilience (Challenge/Failure/Perseverance/Accountability/Flexibility/Resilience)
