The Science of Personal Power reveals how to bridge the science of inner well-being with the science of outer achievement by developing personal power – a concept that, when put into practice, is a panacea for both happiness and success. Unlike formal power, which focuses on authority, personal power is how we feel about our own capability to create impact. When we feel big, we show up big.

In Lipp’s signature style, this book combines the research, data, and storytelling needed to understand foundational concepts related to psychology, communication, and business. The book highlights counter-intuitive discoveries and reconciles ostensibly conflicting findings about inner power and outer status to provide practical tips and approaches to enhance our power. The book further provides science-based strategies to tap into our power and communicate leadership.

Whether practicing courage under fire, securing status in meetings, or conveying leadership presence to guide others, tapping into our personal power will help us show up best in the moments that matter most.
