THIS IS THE SECOND EDITION of “Resilient NH,” a special publication from NH Business Review that celebrates a characteristic so many of us have become familiar with over two years of a pandemic and economic and international crisis.

Yes, “resilience” has been an overused word these last couple of years. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable in describing just how individual Granite Staters and New Hampshire as a whole have been able to withstand the upheaval we’ve been faced with. As human beings have shown throughout their history, we learn and we bounce back. If anything, the past two years have taught us the very meaning of the word “resilient.”

The ability to bounce back from adversity is at the heart of “Resilient NH.” In it, we feature reflections by and stories about some impressive, successful — and, yes, resilient — Granite Staters. Their stories are insightful, compelling and inspirational. And they offer lessons in how to learn from adversity and become all the stronger and wiser because of it.
