Download The Resilience Dividend: Being Strong in a World Where Things Go Wrong AudioBook Free
Building resilience - the ability to bounce back quicker and effectively - can be an urgent cultural and economic concern. Our interconnected world is susceptible to sudden and dramatic shocks and stresses: a cyber-attack, a new strain of disease, a structural failure, a violent surprise, a civil disturbance, an economical blow. Via an astonishing selection of stories, Judith Rodin shows how people, organizations, businesses, areas, and cities are suffering from resilience when confronted with otherwise catastrophic difficulties:
- Medellin, Colombia, was once the medication and murder capital of SOUTH USA. Now it's coordinator to international meetings and an growing vacation destination.
- Tulsa, Oklahoma, damaged the code of fast urban development in a floodplain.
- Airbnb, Toyota, Ikea, Coca-Cola, and other companies have realized the value of reducing vulnerabilities and potential dangers to customers, employees, and their bottom line.
- In the Mau Forest of Kenya, bottom-up solutions are crucial for dealing with weather change, environmental degradation, and displacement of local people.
- Following Superstorm Sandy, the Rockaway Search Club in New York played a vital role in distributing crisis products.
