The Hardiness Effect

90

Grow from Stress, Optimise Health, Live Longer.

Paul Taylor is a man who has achieved much in his life and is intent on achieving much more before he leaves this mortal coil as he wants to be able to say at the end of his days that he lived a life that was ‘full of challenge but one that he can be proud of.’

The Hardiness Effect sets out to redefine the way you live your life; as one of comfort, eventual ill health and mental anguish or one that has seen you conquer many of life’s challenges, face up to adversity, overcome those challenges and live a happier, healthier lifestyle. You are being offered a choice as to which pathway you will take.

Based on the story of Hercules, the favoured son of Zeus, he was offered two pathways in life, that of Kakia, the Goddess known as Happiness but was really Vice or Arete the Goddess of Virtue. He chose Virtue and by doing so reaps the rewards of a long and happy life.

Paul Taylor is offering these choices in a very modern concept that of psychological and physiological ‘Hardiness’ that we need to both understand and attain, to be able to live a rich and full life in the modern world where excess, laziness and stultifying routines are contributing to a humanity that is unfit, unhealthy, suffering from real or imagined mental health issues and expect a ‘quick fix’ for just about everything that goes wrong.

Over his many years of study, his career as a trained combat Airman then that of a corporate speaker and performance trainer, he has learned that life is not easy, it is filled with challenges but challenges that can be overcome, learned from and utilized to create a full and rich life.

More than just a handbook on how to fix most things, The Hardiness Effect is a lifeline in a world of what can very easily be considered as chaos which encourages the reestablishment of resilience, self-control, and self-discipline, sadly lacking in today’s world.

If you find yourself at a crossroads, realise there must be more to life than what you have right now, reach out to Paul Taylor and learn step by step how to convert stress into happiness. The Appendix at the rear of the book is of great assistance to encourage you towards change, a healthier lifestyle and a longer, more rewarding, and richer future.
