I love listening to podcasts, especially on long road trips. There are several podcasts that discuss resilience and other related issues. Here are my favorites, which are all available on iTunes.

Road to Resilience: Mount Sinai Health System started this monthly podcast in June 2018. The series is based on one of my favorite books, Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenges, which explains how anyone can become more resilient when facing life’s greatest challenges. Each podcast episode focuses on specific resilience aspects and presents a simple guide for people to follow and apply to their own lives.
Resilient: Started in April 2018, Deloitte’s podcast features authentic, engaging, and thought-provoking conversations with CEOs, senior executives, board members, and people outside the business world about how they led through crisis, navigated through disruption, and managed through significant risk events.
Being Well with Dr. Rick Hanson: Dr. Hanson started this podcast in June 2016. He’s a psychologist and the author of Resilient, another one of my favorite books. He focuses a lot on the brain and how we can use our minds to change our brains for the better.
Hidden Brain: Started in October 2015, NPR’s Shankar Vedantam uses science and storytelling to reveal the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, shape our choices, and direct our relationships. While many of his episodes are not related to resilience, his series You 2.0 explored a range of resilience concepts that were useful and inspiring.
Bryony Gordon’s Mad World: Bryony Gordon is a journalist with the Telegraph newspaper and has written several books about mental health. In this podcast, started in April 2017, she has intimate conversations with well-known personalities about being unwell and getting better. My favorite is her interview with Prince Harry, when he opened up for the first time about his grief after his mother died.
On Being: This long-running podcast explores the intersection of spiritual inquiry, science, social healing, community, poetry, and the arts through interviews with experts in the fields. In 2014, President Obama awarded host Krista Tippett the National Humanities Medal for “thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence.”
Real Life Resilience: Since 2015, host Stacy Brookman has interviewed guests who have weathered challenges and bounced back from trauma. She focuses on helping people discover and tell their life stories because it provides them with insight and courage to finally make progress. They become a more authentic person, comfortable with who they are and where they're going.
