Surrender to Your Adversity
Rob's best selling book on how to conquer adversity, build resilience and move toward your life’s purpose.
Rob demonstrates that whatever adversities we may encounter don’t have to be permanent setbacks.
Like most people, global business leader, peak performance strategist and best selling author Rob Swymer has gone through his share of adversity in life. In his new book Surrender to Your Adversity, Rob illustrates how our internal voice influences every thought, belief, and action.
By sharing his own hard losses—the unexpected death of a beloved partner, substance abuse, depression and other family challenges—Rob demonstrates that whatever adversities we may encounter don’t have to be permanent setbacks. He shows how even seemingly large obstacles can be opportunities that allow us to live more gracious, courageous, and authentic lives.
Rob provides a straightforward path for shifting your mindset and improving your resilience. He believes if you can change your mindset from the top, the rest of your soul and life will follow. He challenges the reader’s thinking, asking:
What if every seemingly negative experience you’ve had was pointing you toward something bigger.
What if inside every challenge, you could find purpose.
Rob shares his lessons and maps out steps on how to conquer adversity, build resilience, and move toward a life with purpose.
