The authors' definition of resilience: "The capacity of a system, enterprise, or a person to maintain its core purpose and integrity in the face of dramatically changed circumstances." The book spends considerable time in the natural world, including an Australian coral reef and Borneo, the primary habitat of orangutans. Drawing a line from the natural to the social sciences, the writing makes the case that those attributes that contribute to healthy environmental ecosystems can also be developed and sustained in human organizational systems.
