Roger Crawford is one of America's most highly regarded speakers and a shining example of the power of resilience to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world.  Physically challenged from birth, he has learned from experience that resilience--our ability to thrive under stress and bounce back from hardship--is a skill that we can all develop and maintain.  Now, with his unique blend of humor, savvy, and hard-won wisdom, he shows you how you can make resilience the springboard to your own success.

Where are you coming from?  How long have you been there?  Where are you going?  Starting with these fundamental questions, How High Can You Bounce?  invites you to take stock, to examine your attitudes, the way you see yourself, and your motivations.  Then, from this new wellspring of awareness, you can begin to build your resilience--and reap the benefits of living a healthier, happier, more productive life.

The Best Defense Against Hard Times--how to harness the extraordinary power of humor and optimism
The Keys To Success You Already Possess--how to take an inventory of your personal riches and make use of all your resources
The Greatest Confidence Builders--how to fortify your positive attitudes and rethink the perceptions that are holding you back
What's Better Than Money In The Bank--how to stockpile resilience so you can draw on it whenever you need it
The Friends You Can't Afford To Be Without--how to attract strong, nurturing friends who lift you up and cheer you on
How To Write Your Own Life Script--knowing when to take responsibility puts you in the director's seat
When Challenge Is Sweet--why obstacles should be embraced, as springboards to new levels of
achievement and as exciting opportunities
The Secret Of Becoming An Effective Leader--how your unshakable resilience can win you respect at home, at work, in the community

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

We seldom realize the degree to which our success depends on how we react to failure. Roger Crawford, a speaker and business consultant who says the physical "inconveniences" he's lived with since birth have taught him to be flexible, argues that thinking resiliently is even more important than thinking positively in getting what we want out of life. While positive thinkers might tell themselves, "I feel happy," even when they don't, a resilient thinker would say, "Right now I feel lousy, but I have it in my power to be happy." Because that's not an attitude that comes naturally to many people, he offers a variety of tips on reframing our internal dialogue. While some of Crawford's advice will sound familiar to readers of achievement-oriented books, those who need a push to continue in the face of adversity will find it in How High Can You Bounce?

From Library Journal

Physically challenged at birth and told that he would never walk, Crawford went on to become a tennis champion and Olympic torch bearer. Now he lectures worldwide on resiliency in the face of crisis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Inspiring!, May 15, 2002
By A Customer
A book to read over and over. When I am feeling like my self esteem is gone or I am going through a difficult time, I pick up this book and read a chapter or two and get re-charged again. It makes you re-examine all the dreams you ever had and didn't act upon because you thought you weren't talented enough or someone else had discouraged you. After reading this book you will believe "I can really make this happen".

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book, November 6, 2005
By 
This review is from: How High Can You Bounce? (Hardcover)
I love this book, I read it over and over, I cannot get enough of it. This book has taught me how to remain positive regardless of the situation. My new motivational word is now "Resilience". Whenever I am feeling stressed or facing a challenge, I think about what Roger Crawford says in the book and the experiences and examples of so many people given, and I feel better. Great book. I would love to meet him one of these days. I would urge you to recommend this book to anybody who is facing any type of challenge in his/her life.
THANKS!!
