'a powerful text that will benefit any reader' - Dr Richard Harris SC, OAM, hero of the Thai cave rescue
Life is hard. Rocketing rates of physical and mental health issues are testimony to the immense pressures of our complex world. So how do we become tough and adaptable to face life's challenges?
The Resilience Shield provides that defence. In their groundbreaking guide to overcoming adversity, Australian SAS veterans Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk DSC and Tim Curtis take you behind the scenes of special operations missions, into the boardrooms of leading companies and through the depths of contemporary research in order to demystify and define resilience. Through lessons learned in and out of uniform, they've come to understand the critical components of resilience and how it can be developed in anyone - including you.
The Resilience Shield explores the hard-won resilience secrets of elite soldiers and the latest thinking on mental and physical wellbeing. This book will equip you with an arsenal of practical tools for you to start making immediate improvements in your life that are attainable and sustainable.
Let's build your shield!

Customer Reviews
Woven together like an Afghan rug
As a combat soldier of 10 years and now a firefighter of 10 years (and still going) I found myself suffering from the burnout and PTS that this lifestyle/profession affords over time. I had let myself slip into many of the traits mentioned in this book. What I have done though is acknowledge the challenges I was/am facing and start doing some self help, or self rescue as they elude to in their book. This lead to a number of different pieces of literature including this. I can say without doubt this is one of the most clear, concise and informative approaches to being a better version of yourself. Thanks Ben, Tim and Dan for what you’ve created here. This should be essential reading for any high school student and every soldier, sailer, airman/airwoman, leader or anyone wanting to open their mind
Living Truths Empowering Others.
The Resilience Shield is truth, generously shared by a trio of good men. A combined joining of hard won and hard earned lessons, from three ex SAS veterans, continuing to help others pursue a well lived life.
Essential reading for those accountable for their own altruistic growth!
