The article discusses the growing popularity and versatility of the term 'resilience,' which has seen an 800% increase in usage over the past three decades. It highlights that while resilience is often described as bouncing back from adversity, this narrow definition might limit a broader understanding of adaptation to change. Furthermore, the emphasis on individual resilience may redirect attention from addressing the root causes of stress, necessitating improved research into interventions aimed at fostering resilience.
Resilience's appeal lies in its versatility, as various fields—biology, engineering, disaster management, and psychology—employ the term for different purposes.
Defining resilience solely as a response to adversity may restrict our understanding, shifting focus away from addressing root causes of stress.
