MiniCourse: The Importance of Resilience in Recovery

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines resilience as:

1. The capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress;

2. An ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.

Although the first definition applies to materials, such as a memory foam mattress, for example, the same principle applies to people. Resilience means to return to a normal, original state, whether it applies to mattresses or human beings.
