“Rules of Resilience” Debuts on USA Today Bestseller List and Makes the Shortlist for Global Award

The CaPP Institute proudly announces a milestone achievement for its founder, Valorie Burton, whose latest book, “Rules of Resilience: 10 Ways Successful People Get Better, Wiser, and Stronger” released Tuesday, September 16, has already captured national attention. The book debuted on the USA Today Bestseller List, underscoring Burton’s influence in the fields of coaching, positive psychology, and leadership development.

In addition, “Rules of Resilience” has been shortlisted for the 2025 Thinkers50 Coaching and Mentoring Award, presented in partnership with Coaching.com. The shortlist includes just eight books now being considered for this global award, which honors the world’s most impactful coaches who share their knowledge and spark transformative ideas, connecting visionary thinkers with organizational leaders and change agents.

“In a world where disruption and uncertainty have become the norm, resilience is not optional. It is essential,” said Burton. “And it may just be the life skill that saves our collective future. My hope is that ‘Rules of Resilience’ gives people and organizations the practical framework to build it and research-based, easy-to-remember rules they can come back to again and again.”

The USA Today Bestseller List ranks the top 150 books each week across all categories and genres sold nationwide, making it one of the competitive measures of a book’s reach. In its first week on the market, “Rules of Resilience” debuted at No. 39, a notable achievement given the breadth of titles represented.

Burton, a pioneering voice in positive psychology-based coaching, has dedicated her work to equipping individuals and organizations with the tools and inspiration to thrive. Through her work at the CaPP Institute, she has trained thousands of personal and executive coaches globally and continues to advance the impact of resilience, psychological capital, and well-being on performance and leadership.

The recognition from Thinkers50, a body often referred to as the “Oscars of Management Thinking,” further recognizes Burton as a leading voice in the coaching industry. Winners of the Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement Awards will be announced at the biennial gala in London in November 2025.
