Welcome back F.A.B. Fam! This week the ladies review “The Resilience Myth, New Thinking on Grit, Strength, and Growth After Trauma” by Soraya Chemaly. In this thought-provoking exploration, cultural critic Soraya Chemaly challenges our most dearly held, common myths of resilience and dismantles the notions of resilience rooted in the philosophies of mind over matter, “mental toughness,” “strength,” and “positive thinking,” arguing that our modern version of “resilience” is a bill of goods sold to us by capitalism, colonialism, and ideologies that embrace supremacy over others.
