Resilience

An inspiring book for readers of Sheryl Sandberg and Arlene Dickinson

Lisa Lisson’s life seemed perfect: she had married her high school sweetheart, applied her marketing degree to a position at FedEx Express Canada, and risen to become a vice president (and would ultimately become president) of the company. One night, after putting their four children to bed, her husband, Patrick, marvelled that their lives seemed perfectly happy.

Just a few hours later, everything changed.

One moment Lisa was sleeping beside Patrick, and the next, she was kneeling on the floor beside his unconscious body frantically administering CPR. Patrick had had a massive heart attack and was in a coma, and the doctors were blunt: there was no hope. But for the next two years, Lisa stood by his side and awaited a miracle, while continuing to balance life as a high-powered executive and mother of four.

Part leadership guide, part memoir of loss, and part personal empowerment primer on how to achieve your goals no matter what the universe throws at you, Resilience is an inspirational story about how to rise to the top in a man’s world, triumph over adversity, lead a fulfilling life, and live each day with purpose and gratitude.

O carte inspirata pentru cititorii lui Sheryl Sandberg si Arlene Dickinson Viata Lisa Lisson parea perfecta: se casatorise cu iubita de liceu, isi aplicase diploma de marketing intr-o functie la FedEx Express Canada si se ridicase pentru a deveni vicepresedinte (si in cele din urma va deveni presedinte) al companiei. Intr-o noapte, dupa ce si-au culcat cei patru copii, sotul ei, Patrick, s-a minunat ca viata lor parea perfect fericita. Doar cateva ore mai tarziu, totul s-a schimbat. Intr-un moment, Lisa dormea langa Patrick si, in urmatorul, statea in genunchi pe podea langa corpul sau inconstient administrand frenetic RCP.
