Ten thousand Americans over fifty, followed for twelve years. Ten years in, 61 out of 100 of the least resilient were still alive. For the most resilient, it was 84.

People will rearrange their whole life to cut a health risk that much. Nobody's lining up to train how they handle hardship.

In this episode of Warrior Mindset I walk through a study in BMJ Mental Health linking resilience to lower risk of death, what it can and can't prove, and what it actually measured: perseverance, calmness, purpose, self-reliance and facing some things alone. Sound familiar? It's basically a martial arts curriculum.

Then we get practical with the resilience bank: the withdrawals that come later in life, the four deposits you can make now, and a three-deposit challenge for this week.
