Thirteen years ago, Hugh van Cuylenberg’s life changed forever when he visited a remote village in India.

There, he learned about three principles: gratitude, mindfulness and empathy, or as he refers to it 'GEM'.

A school teacher by trade, Hugh created a program founded on these values called The Resilience Project – the curriculum is now delivered to more than a million Australians, across a thousand schools, as well as sporting clubs and workplaces.

Hugh has just released the follow up to his first book The Resilience Project called Let Go.

It's his most personal work yet, based on his realisation on national radio he just wasn’t okay anymore – a mighty hard thing to admit when you’re known as "The Resilience Guy".

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the book, and while it’s full of the same wit, storytelling and banter Hugh is known for... it’s also deep, raw and explores themes such as shame, perfection and ego, as well as his family’s trauma and how he dealt with it.

This is the second time the wonderful Hugh has been on the podcast - and I can guarantee you’ll love listening to him just as much the second time around.
