Resilience at work: A delicate balance between strength and vulnerability

Resilience is praised as a key professional strength.But when does it stop being a strength and becomes a burden?In this essay, the author examines the hidden cost of resilience at work: gradual exhaustion, loss of purpose, and the silent pressure placed on those who seem the most reliable. Drawing on her professional experience and in-depth analysis, she reveals how resilience can become an invisible trap, pushing people to accept what should never be acceptable, sometimes leading to burnout.Through historical context, real-world accounts, and thoughtful insights, this book helps readers identify warning signs and redefine what resilience should truly mean in today's workplace.For anyone who senses that "holding on" is no longer enough, and who is searching for a more sustainable way forward in an ever-changing professional world.
