I was fortunate enough to hear Tiran Jackson speak earlier this year, and that experience immediately led me to buy his book, Choosing Resilience. If you think this is just another inspiring memoir, you'd be wrong. Tiran's story is deeper than simple inspiration—it's a powerful blueprint for turning profound tragedy and loss into lasting, meaningful purpose.
The book captures the very essence of the talk he gave, sharing his personal narrative of heartbreak and how he consciously decided to build something transformative from it. What stood out for me is how he illustrates that life is not meant to be lived small. We can either ignore the greater purpose life has for us or zealously chase it to become the very best versions of ourselves for the benefit of others.
Reading the book was just as moving and motivating as hearing him share his story in person. My main takeaway is the powerful idea that life happens, but always for a reason. We may not ever fully understand the 'why' behind our biggest struggles, but every day we are given is an opportunity to live with purpose and seek out what we are truly meant to do.
This book is a must-read for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It is an honest, faith-filled reminder that resilience is not something you are born with—it is something you choose.

Wife Abandon Me. I’m Mad! This Book Helped Me.
Reading this book helped me to realize that I must start to do something positive with the time I have left. I’m 77 and being along is hard. I have skills that I can apply to helping other people. I love to cook. I raised 5 kids, as a single father. I now cook dinners for People Living Outdoors. I’ve served over 700 meals so far. It gives me a sense of purpose and helps with eliminating those moments when I feel bad. This book is a Godsend. Thanks Tiran for sharing it.

A very necessary read
This book was recommended to me by my great Aunt Cindy... It was really inspiring and some things resonated with me more than others. I have gone through so much in life and I'm always wondering Why me? But I also try to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. I'm currently going through some difficult things, but have been trying to make the best of my situation where I feel stuck. I'm definitely going to recommend this book to be read by others that may be going through a difficult time. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I was amazed at the courage and strength that Tiran had to have to get through this horrible time in his life. He is living in his new “normal” and walking in his new purpose. This book is enlightening and a source of encouragement for anyone who has had their world turned upside down suddenly!
