Acceptance, Attitude and Action

When Jason Anker fell from a ladder at work at the age of 24, the impact was instant and devastating; he was left paralysed for life. What followed was a personal journey through trauma, addiction, depression, and a near-death experience that forced him to reconsider everything about his life, his mindset, and his purpose. Alongside world-renowned leadership and human error expert Professor Tim Marsh, Jason shares his story and the applicable lessons learned in transforming pain into progress and adversity into action. This practical book introduces the "3As" framework, Acceptance, Attitude, and Action, a simple, accessible approach to wellbeing, resilience, and personal excellence that can be applied to your workplace or life. Drawing on a wealth of psychological and philosophical insight, workplace safety principles, and real-life applications, the authors provide tools, reflections, and strategies that help readers identify their default responses, shift their mindset, and make meaningful, sustainable changes. From reading this book, the reader can become a stronger, clearer, more empowered version of themselves in and out of the workplace. Acceptance, Attitude and Action: Applying the 3As to Transform Your Life and Career is for anyone at all who is striving to understand their mental wellbeing and daily performance to improve themselves as an individual and as a team leader or player.
