How is it that some people persevere, remaining steadfast & persistent no matter what?

How is it that some people, even with failures, betrayals, and set-backs, still keep going, working for what they care about?

How do they not fall victim to exhaustion & despair?

How do they preserve their energy, their motivation, their faith?

For many years, I’ve observed people persevering through tragedies and harsh circumstances I hope never to encounter. And I’ve observed friends, family and colleagues struggling to persevere through this time of uncertainty, difficulty and occasional insanity.

This book is my offering to you if you seek to be one who perseveres, if you hope that your work and life contribute to making things better, not worse, for the people, issues and places you love.
