This is a difficult article to read because on the one hand there is a lot of truth in it, but on the other there is a fair bit of confusion.

Trying to build resilience in the middle of a crisis is like teaching prevention to someone who is seriously ill - it is simply too late. At that point the person needs outside help to recover.

This does not mean that taking responsibility for your well-being is somehow pointless and that adapting essentially a victim mentality is all that one is reduced to. And yes, you will most likely need someone's guidance and yes, the environment you are in will make a big difference. But dismiss personal development and the taking of responsibility for it is simply nonsense.

I wish I had the time to write a longer response but I don't and anyway who's going to bother reading it anyway. ;)

USA's SOF truth #4: "Competent Special Operations Forces cannot be created after emergencies occur."

And they're built to be resilient.

The article has an unfortunately baity title. The content discusses the merits of positive thinking.
