Salvatore R. Maddi obtained his doctorate in clinical psychology from Harvard University in 1960. He began developing the resilience and hardiness approach in 1975, and founded the Hardiness Institute in 1984. The author of nearly 100 papers, he is internationally recognized as a leader in psychology, and continues to win prestigious awards for his hardiness-based consulting and research work. An international survey in 1986 named him among the top 175 psychologists in the world.
Deborah M. Khoshaba has been a professional psychologist for the past fifteen years and is director of Program Development and Training at the Hardiness Institute. Deborah teaches graduate students in psychology at Pepperdine University, and lectures for psychology undergraduates at the University of California, at Irvine. Her professional activities and published works include the areas of resilience, coping, and human potential.
Organizations the authors have consulted to include Kawasaki, the University of Southern California, Illinois Bell Telephone, and Baxter HealthCare Corporation. They have appeared on CNN and in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post. Both authors live in Laguna Beach, California.
"""Resilience at Work offers a masterfully original and practical perspective on how to enhance health, morale, happiness, and performance by learning how to build on stressful events and not be undermined by them."" -- Elizabeth Loftus, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine
""Resilience at Work holds the keys we need to go beyond survival to thrive in today's complex workplace. Maddi and Khoshaba build on their research and practice developing ‘personal hardiness’ to offer us sensible, practical guidelines for building a firm foundation of resilience that works on the job and in our personal lives."" -- Philip G. Zimbardo, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Stanford University
""Unlike most self-help books, Resilience at Work is based on solid empirical research. It is refreshing to see how these two renowned psychologists are able to translate their scientific findings and theoretical concepts into an engaging and inspiring story."" -- Dr. Paul T. P. Wong, President, International Network on Personal Meaning
""A unique resource that promotes constructive coping with stress as it arises in organizational contexts. The book is psychologically sound and clearly written. Its array of relevant cases from the authors' extensive experience makes it humanly appealing."" -- M. Brewster Smith, former President of the American Psychological Association
""Maddi and Khoshaba have translated their groundbreaking research on the science of human personality into deep insights and practical guidelines that show us how to cope and flourish amid the daunting challenges we face in the workplace today."" -- Dan P. McAdams, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Director of the Foley Center for the Study of Lives, Northwestern University"
