Dr. Amish: Thanks for your interest in my work. Congratulations on this great event for one if my very favorite countries. “In India and the world, too much attention has been given to the negatives in society, organizations and individuals. As done in this important seminar, for the good of all, more attention needs to be given to evidence-based positivity. For example, my positive construct of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) consisting of the psychological resources of Hope, Eficacy (conidence), Resilience, and Optimism (or the HERO within) has been clearly demonstrated through extensive empirical research to have a positive impact on performance and well-being.” “what psychologists have called a “state of learned helplessness.” This is where people learn that no matter what they do, nothing will work, so they eventually become immobilized, even when a positive opportunity arises. Such dysfunctional conditions go hand in hand with very negative PsyCap.” Fred Luthans, Distinguished Professor U. of Nebraska, USA, Former President International Academy of Management and recognized as having Top 1% of Citations of all researchers in the world.
