DOWNLOAD EBOOKScholarship establishes a new field of study in the organizational sciences. Just as positive psychology focuses on exploring optimal individual psychological states rather than pathological ones, Positive Organizational Scholarship focuses attention on optimal organizational states --- the dynamics in organizations that lead to the development of human strength, foster resiliency in employees, make healing, restoration, and reconciliation possible, and cultivate extraordinary individual and organizational performance. While the concept of positive organizational scholarship encompasses the examination of typical and even dysfunctional patterns of behavior, it emphasizes positive deviance from expected patterns. Positive Organizational Scholarship examines the enablers, motivations, and effects associated with remarkably positive phenomena --- how they are facilitated, why they work, how they can be identified, and how researchers and managers can capitalize on them. The contributors do not adopt one particular theory or framework but draw from the full spectrum of organizational theories to understand, explain, and predict the occurrence, causes, and consequences of positivity. Positive Organizational Scholarship rigorously seeks to understand what represents the best of the human condition based on scholarly research and theory. This book invites organizational scholars to build upon and extend the positive organizational phenomena being examined. It provides the definitional, theoretical, and empirical foundations for what will become a cumulative body of enduring work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt's not recycled obsolete stress management and coping from the second half of the last century. It provides a comprehensive approach to becoming resilient. Right now 37% of the U.S. population, or just under 117M people, are suffering from anxiety or depression disorders-up from 8% only a year ago. Increasingly the media is reporting this mental health crisis as a result of the COViD pandemic and all the other crises it has unleashed or brought into sharp focus. Yes, it is a result. But that misses the point. Anxiety is not just a result of the crises it is an accelerant. Anxiety causes us to be highjacked by our emotions and impairs our ability to perceive our surroundings and to think and act effectively. Anxiety ignites fights between store employees and consumers who refuse to wear masks; it fans the flames of our political unrest and divisiveness. Anxiety is more contagious than COVid19. Social distancing and masks won't contain it. Anxiety spreads enough across cell phone microwaves and digital platforms like Zoom. Thriving in Thin Air applies the latest neuroscience, particularly brain plasticity, to enable readers to rewire their brains so that they can thrive even in difficult and challenging times. Thriving in Thin Air is the only book that focuses specifically on how to reduce anxiety and increase emotional health in challenging times.
