Power, for All: How It Really Works and Why It's Everyone's Business
by Julie Battilana Tiziana Casciaro&“A remarkably insightful read on what power is, how it&’s gained and lost, and how it can be used for good. The masterful analysis by two leading experts will make you rethink some of your most basic assumptions about influence&” (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again).Power is one of the most misunderstood—and therefore vilified—concepts in our society. Most people assume power is predetermined by personality or wealth, or that it&’s gained by strong-arming others. Many write it off as inherently corrupt or &“dirty&” and want nothing to do with it. But as pioneering researchers Julie Battilana and Tiziana Casciaro deftly show in Power, for All, power is the ability to influence someone else&’s behavior. This influence is derived from having access to valued resources, which anyone can have, regardless of their income or status in life. Everyone has a resource to offer, so everyone has access to power. Battilana and Casciaro offer a timely, democratized vision of power. While hierarchies tend to stay in place because power is often sticky, by agitating, innovating, and orchestrating change, they show how those with less power can challenge established structures to make them more balanced. They teach readers how to power-map their workplace to find who can create real change at work, plan for and cause sustaining power shifts, and understand the five motivations for seeking power—money and status, but also autonomy, achievement, affiliation, and morality. They explore how these dynamics play out through vivid storytelling: as Donatella Versace successfully leads her brother&’s company after his death—despite having a title, but little influence; what social movements can learn from youth climate activists and how they can go farther; and how a manager can gain the trust of skeptical employees and improve the workplace. Ultimately, Power, for All demystifies the essential mechanisms for acquiring and using power for all people. Concentrated, accessible, and life-changing, Power, for All is the definitive guide to understanding and navigating power in our relationships, organizations, and society.
Power Freedom and Grace: Living from the Source of Lasting Happiness
by Deepak Chopra MD&“This book captures the essence of all of my talks over the last 20 years. It is the distillation of almost everything I have taught up to now.&” — Deepak ChopraDeepak Chopra considers the mystery of our existence and its significance in our eternal quest for happiness. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where do I go when I die? Chopra draws upon the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the findings of modern science to help us understand and experience our true nature, which is a field of pure consciousness.When we understand our true nature, we begin to live from the source of true happiness, which is not mere happiness for this or that reason, but true inner joy. When we know who we are, we allow the universe to flow through us with effortless ease, and our lives are infused with power, freedom, and grace.

Power Moves Study Guide: What the Bible Says About How You Can Reclaim and Redefine Your God-Given Power
by Sarah Jakes RobertsIn the Power Moves Study Guide, Sarah Jakes Roberts shares what the Bible says about how followers of Jesus can reclaim and redefine their God-given power. God's original intention for humankind was for them to subdue the earth and have dominion over it. He instructed Adam and Eve to "rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground" (Genesis 1:28). But the first humans allowed the enemy to talk them into giving up this authority and ended up undermining their mission in the world. We have been living with the repercussions ever since.But this is not the way it was supposed to be—and this is not the way it has to be. We do not have to buy into the enemy's lie that we are powerless. We can reclaim the power that God intends for us to have. We can allow His strength to move in us, through us, and work for us so that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy and make a positive impact for God in this world. As Paul wrote, we can "put on the full armor of God" so we can "stand against the devil&’s schemes" (Ephesians 6:10).The Bible states that God created us to be a force in this world. We no longer have to accept that we have no power to change our situation. We can rediscover God's power and allow it to move in us.
