“Type R makes an impressive step towards reimagining how we live, work, and lead, going beyond past thinking to draw on research and a brave new vision for the future to help guide us to success in our complex world.”

Forget Type As and Bs. The future lies with Type Rs — the individuals, leaders, businesses, families, and communities that turn challenges into opportunity in times of upheaval, crisis, and change.
In this thought provoking book Ama Marston, an internationally recognized strategist and thought leader focused on Transformative Resilience and purpose-driven leadership and business, teams up with her mother, psychotherapist, stress and work-life expert, and corporate consultant Stephanie Marston. Together they explore the process of Transformative Resilience. And, they look at the mindset, skills, and strategies of Type Rs who are finding ways to turn some of the most challenging of circumstances into opportunity — growing from the experience and springing forward rather than merely bouncing back — and ultimately making a contribution to the world.
