Turning your strengths into superpowers

Begründet hoffen lernen in herausfordernden Zeiten

Hoffnungs-Gründe

Contributions to Management Science

This Open Access book shows how individuals and organizations can turn constraints into strengths and achieve meaningful results. Based on over two decades of research and fieldwork in Japan and Vietnam—covering topics like disability entrepreneurship, student ventures, community rebuilding, and everyday problem-solving—the book presents a micro-level framework connecting cognition, emotion, and action in adversity. It explains how resource “non-recognition” and hidden mismatches can be addressed through steps of appraisal and recombination, enabling people to generate value, resilience, and well-being without waiting for perfect conditions. By combining theory with narrative case studies, the book merges insights from resource-based views with positive psychology to demonstrate how happiness and performance can grow together. Written in an accessible style for general readers while maintaining scholarly rigor, it offers practitioners, students, and researchers practical tools: recognizing hidden resources, avoiding non-resource traps, designing roles and tasks, and fostering positive feedback loops of affect and efficacy. The result is a clear, evidence-based guide to living and working meaningfully within real-world constraints—beneficial for entrepreneurs, managers, educators, and anyone aiming for sustainable progress in resource-limited settings.&nbsp;&nbsp;This book offers a rigorous and compassionate account of how people act under constraint. It isolates the appraisal–resources–emotions mechanism with rare clarity and shows, through well-chosen cases across settings, how modest shifts in framing can unlock consequential action.The result is a thoughtful, field-ready book that will serve researchers, educators, and policy makers who care about enabling enterprise where resources are tight and hopes are fragile.&nbsp;Léo-Paul Dana, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Dalhousie University, Canada

Research-based Insights of the Future of Leadership

Positive Leadership

A sweeping new history of the changing meaning of work in the United States, from Horatio Alger to Instagram influencers. How Americans think about work changed profoundly over the course of the twentieth century. Thrift and persistence came to seem old-fashioned. Successful workers were increasingly expected to show initiative and enthusiasm for change-not just to do their jobs reliably but to create new opportunities for themselves and for others. Our culture of work today is more demanding than ever, even though workers haven't seen commensurate rewards. Make Your Own Job explains how this entrepreneurial work ethic took hold, from its origins in late nineteenth-century success literature to the gig economy of today, sweeping in strange bedfellows: Marcus Garvey and Henry Ford, Avon ladies and New Age hippies. Business schools and consultants exhorted managers to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in their subordinates, while an industry of self-help authors synthesized new ideas from psychology into a vision of work as "self-realization." Policy experts embraced the new ethic as a remedy for urban and Third World poverty. Every social group and political tendency, it seems, has had its own exemplary entrepreneurs. Historian Erik Baker argues that the entrepreneurial work ethic has given meaning to work in a world where employment is ever more precarious--and in doing so, has helped legitimize a society of mounting economic insecurity and inequality. From the advent of corporate capitalism in the Gilded Age to the economic stagnation of recent decades, Americans have become accustomed to the reality that today's job may be gone tomorrow. Where work is hard to find and older nostrums about diligent effort fall flat, the advice to "make your own job" keeps hope alive.

How to Be Hopeful is kelsey’s answer, an inspiring exploration of hope as an active, evidence-based response to climate change and environmental degradation. Hope is not merely a passive feeling but an active choice, a stance that must be nurtured despite the ever-present sense of despair and hopelessness that often accompanies the state of the world.

Leading Organizational Wellbeing

In this compelling new work by renowned self-esteem pioneer Nathaniel Branden, you will learn how true self-esteem is not only a path to personal wellbeing but also a crucial component for navigating life's complexities. Here, Branden blends his hallmark psychological clarity with a fresh spiritual lens and demonstrates why: <ul><li>Defending your right to self-esteem is essential for genuine happiness.</li><li>Self-esteem is the reputation you get with yourself, developed through competent, confident, courageous action--while misguided actions chip away at your inner strength.</li><li> It is essential to build deep psychological resilience by living consciously, accepting responsibility, showing integrity, purposefulness, assertiveness, and self-acceptance.</li><li>You must believe that you deserve success, love, and fulfillment as you confront self-doubt, face fears, and channel discomfort as fuel for personal growth.</li><li> Deepen your connection to reality and develop a consciousness rooted in truth, purpose, and integrity.</li><li> Cultivate lifelong practices of living consciously, self-responsibly, with integrity to protect your inner strength even when challenged.</li><li> Integrate psychological insight with spiritual discipline to emerge as a whole, self-empowered person.</li></ul> Branden elevates self-esteem from a psychological need to a spiritual practice--a disciplined way of orienting your awareness, truthfulness, and personal integrity. In a culture that often confuses self-esteem with vanity or entitlement, his work stands firm: true self-esteem is earned, grounded, and crucial for navigating life's complexities. The Virtue of Inner Strength is your comprehensive guide to building an unshakable foundation of inner power--both practical and profound--rooted in psychological insight and spiritual depth.

Developing Extraordinary Resilience Through the Power of Self-Esteem

The Virtue of Inner Strength

NATIONAL BESTSELLER“Angela Garbes has given us the definitive explanation for something we all share: the sense that something is not right about our society’s treatment of parenting. Essential Labor is a beautifully written, painstakingly researched, and courageously personal book. Garbes reveals the way systems exploit caregiving and shows us how the essential work of mothering can fix not just family life, but society. A timely and unforgettable book.”—Heather McGhee, New York Times bestselling author of The Sum of UsFrom the acclaimed author of&nbsp;Like a Mother&nbsp;comes a reflection on the state of caregiving in America, and an exploration of mothering as a means of social change.The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. In response to the increasing weight placed on mothers and caregivers—and the lack of a social safety net to support them—writer Angela&nbsp;Garbes found herself pondering a vital&nbsp;question: How, under our current circumstances that&nbsp;leave&nbsp;us lonely, exhausted, and financially strained, might we demand more from American family life?&nbsp;In&nbsp;Essential Labor,&nbsp;Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be. A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing&nbsp;mothering in a global context—the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color.&nbsp;Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society.&nbsp;In&nbsp;Essential Labor,&nbsp;Garbes reframes the physically and mentally draining work of meeting&nbsp;a child's bodily and emotional needs&nbsp;as opportunities to find meaning, to nurture a deeper&nbsp;sense of self, pleasure, and belonging. This is highly skilled labor, work that impacts society at its most foundational level.Part galvanizing manifesto, part poignant narrative, Essential Labor is a beautifully rendered reflection on care that reminds us of the irrefutable power and beauty of mothering.
