Dr. Thomas J. Powell walks through three steps to push past the moment you want to quit: keep going until you understand, ask for help, and take breaks to come back stronger. He uses examples like hard math problems and learning languages to show how resilience actually works.

How many of us have had that moment where our mind says, I can't do it anymore? Whether you're working on a tough math problem and you hate math and you're like, I can't, I just can't learn this, or you're learning a second language, or you're learning how to ski. How do we build resiliency? Well, it is sticking to it on that math problem until you get it, getting the help that you need to be able to do it, and getting back up if you have to stop to come back and try it again.
