Practical agency in the face of adversity

Vickie M. Lanthier frames adversity as something to navigate through deliberate action, not as the force that determines a person’s whole life. Drawing on research, interviews, and her own experience, she offers frameworks for spotting vulnerabilities before they disrupt plans, responding to financial crises, and shifting from reaction toward intentional choices. The book connects these practical steps to a broader aim: maintaining influence over one’s life while continuing to pursue meaningful goals, even when difficult circumstances persist.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking practical frameworks for responding to stress and uncertainty
  • Readers interested in building resilience and taking more intentional action
  • Those looking for guidance on preparing for setbacks, including financial crises

Book overview

"In life, exercising a high degree of personal agency is the difference between surviving and thriving. High Agency Human is the handbook for that difference-clear, grounded, and freeing." -Dr. Kerry Burnight, New York Times bestselling author of Joyspan

"...the missing manual for navigating stress, uncertainty, and modern adversity that we all face. Lanthier walks readers through real, doable action steps anyone can take." -Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, psychologist, author & host of top 1% global podcast "Dysregulated Kids"

"...a must-read for anyone who never wants to feel trapped by circumstances again.... Lanthier holds your hand as she guides you through the steps to take to tackle any situation with confidence." -Anne Lester, award-winning author of Your Best Financial Life

Adversity isn't running the show. You are.

You're built for more. Bolder experiences, more meaningful achievements, and a full, adventurous life. And while strong in many areas, you can't seem to catch a break in others. It's in those gaps where adversity catches you off guard and derails your best laid plans. This happens to us all.

In High Agency Human: Navigate Adversity and Live Big, decorated military veteran and registered nurse Vickie Lanthier shares the mindset and practical frameworks that help you weather storms and remain unshakable in the pursuit of your goals. Drawing from research, interviews, and her own lived experience, Lanthier shows how to:

  • Identify and fill gaps so you won't be caught off guard again
  • Bounce back faster from financial crisis
  • Move from reaction to intentional, confident action
  • Increase your influence on your own life

The hard times will persist but so will you. This is your playbook for living big, no matter what life throws your way.
