The Resilience Shield by Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk, DSC and Tim Curtis is a practical, thoughtful guide to building resilience when the stakes are high. Written by Australian SAS veterans with MBAs, it brings together lived operational experience and evidence-based thinking in a way that feels grounded, not preachy.
Drawing on decades of leading high-performance teams across Afghanistan, Iraq, Sierra Leone and Timor Leste—as well as counter-terrorism and special recovery work—the authors explore how people perform under pressure, recover from setbacks, and make clear decisions in uncertain moments. Expect actionable insights on leadership, teamwork, crisis management and mental resilience, shaped by real-world scenarios rather than abstract theory.
This is a strong fit for readers who like business and leadership books with grit, professionals navigating demanding workplaces, and anyone wanting a calmer, more capable approach to stress and change.
