Everyone faces setbacks—moments when things don’t go as planned, when stress builds, or when life just feels heavier than it should. The difference is, some people seem to recover quickly, while others struggle to regain their footing. What is it that makes those people more resilient? Is it personality, experience, or something you can actually learn?
Resilience isn’t just about “toughing it out.” In fact, the people who handle adversity best often think and respond in very specific ways that set them apart. Akash Karia, keynote speaker and author of 7 Things Resilient People Do Differently (https://amzn.to/2TGATVg), explains what those differences are and how you can begin to apply them in your own life.
In our conversation, he breaks down the habits, mental shifts, and practical strategies that help people bounce back faster, stay focused under pressure, and move forward even when circumstances are difficult. If you’ve ever wished you could handle challenges with more clarity, calm, and confidence, this is an approach to resilience that may change the way you think about it.
