Self-leadership can emerge in extreme situations. When facing danger, the individual who previously always hid from trouble may find an inner strength and start to take charge of his or her life. or under the influence of love or care, someone who has been extremely cautious his whole life may start taking little steps toward independent action. Self-leadership can be revealed through love or through suffering, or yet, as shown in this book, it can emerge from a more measured path to growing ourselves and harnessing our own resilience.
