AMA: Can Starting with Values Make You More Resilient?

16 December 202426 min

A special Ask Me Anything: Brad answers listener questions about Start With Values, the Resilience Institute years, and the daily habits that connect values to resilience.

The centrepiece is a striking claim from Brad's own experiments: values misalignment is measurable — it shows up on a heart-rate monitor. When your day fights your values, your physiology keeps the score, which is why values work belongs in any serious resilience practice.

The AMA covers why he wrote Start With Values, how core values like fitness, kindness and creativity work as daily decision lenses, and the practical habits that turn a values list from a poster into an operating system. Short, personal and a good entry point to the whole body of work.
