What capable people do before things go wrong.
PERTH, ON, March 09, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Gibson Quinn Publishing today announced the release of High Agency Human: Navigate Adversity and Live Big, a new non-fiction book by military veteran and registered nurse Vickie M. Lanthier. The book is a practical guide designed to help individuals navigate adversity with intention, build resilience before crisis hits, and lead themselves through life's inevitable challenges with confidence and control.
Rather than promising a life free of hardship, High Agency Human reframes adversity as a normal and even meaningful part of a full life—and equips readers with tools to respond skillfully instead of reactively. Drawing from research, expert interviews, and lived experience, the book introduces a clear, structured approach to building agency, strengthening internal and external buffers, and expanding personal capacity over time.
"Adversity isn't the problem as much as being unprepared for it is," says Lanthier, author of High Agency Human. "This book gives people a way to stop feeling caught off guard by life and start building confidence through strategic preparedness and increased capability. Agency is a skill, and it can be built."
High Agency Human helps readers:
● Identify and strengthen gaps so adversity no longer derails them
● Bounce back faster from financial, personal, and professional setbacks
● Shift from reactive behavior to intentional, confident action
● Increase their influence over their own lives, even in uncertain conditions
High Agency Human: Navigate Adversity and Live Big releases March 24, 2026, in print, ebook, and audiobook formats. For more information, visit highagencyhuman.com.
