If you get most of your self-worth from your job and you get fired, you’ve suddenly lost both your source of income and a big part of your identity, says [Michael] Ungar. Resilient people often have a number of areas from which they get their sense of self-worth, says Ungar. They may have deep friendships or family connections, strong faith, or a leadership role in the community. They’re better able to bounce back, because even if one goes away, they still have a sense of connection and being valued from those other areas, he says.
