In an effort to find more applications for Hartman’s work, this article summarizes much of the research on what resilient people have done to overcome tough situations. It is amazing to note that the research can be organized by the hierarchy of value order set out by Robert S. Hartman. This demonstrates not just the face validity of the hierarchy of order, but the real live application of the values Hartman attempted to stress and that people should follow. For those who are going through tough times, or wanting to prepare for going through tough times, this article summarizes how you can live out the hierarchy of value in a practical and applicable way to improve your own resiliency. You may look at any one of the nine areas and find ways that have been proven to help other people bounce back and conquer tough situations. Note that resilience is not a frame of mind or a way of thinking, but a way of living.References
