Glass, J. M. (1995).  Psychosis and Power: Threats to democracy in the self and the group.
"It is critical that we take the 'different' into account, that we allow for its expression, refuse to be pushed into cynicism by negative passion, learn not to hate difference, respect the 'distinctive features' of what is other." (p. 9)

Dyer, W. W. (1978).  Pulling Your Own Strings : Dynamic Techniques for Dealing with Other People and Living Your Life as You Choose.
"But first you will have to see that it is impossible to be like everyone else and still be your own person. Ralph Waldo Emerson understood this better than anyone I've ever read. In Self-Reliance he said:
'Whoso would be a man, must be a non-conformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.' " (p. 72)

Covey, S. R. (1992).  Principle Centered Leadership.
"If we use an authoritarian or benevolent authoritarian approach to problem-solving, we slip into a kind of condescending or vertical communication pattern. If people sense that we are 'talking down' to them or that our motive is to manipulate them into making a change, they will resist our efforts." (p. 222)

Butler, J. (1997).  The psychic life of power: theories in subjection.
"If one is to oppose the abuses of power (which is not the same as opposing power itself), it seems wise to consider in what our vulnerability to that abuse consists." (p. 20)
Bruner, J. S., Jolly A., & Sylva K. (1976).  Play : Its Role in Development and Evolution.
"There is a well-known rule in the psychology of learning, the Yerkes-Dodson law, that states that the more complex a skill to be learned, the lower the optimum motivational level required for fastest learning." (p. 15)
Brewington, J. O., Nassar-McMillan S. C., Flowers C. P., & Furr S. R. (2004).  A Preliminary Investigation of Factors Associated With Job Loss Grief. Career Development Quarterly. 53(1), 78 - 83. Abstract
"Involuntary job loss has far-reaching effects on the well-being of individuals and families (Bejian & Salomone, 1995; Leana & Feldman, 1994; Turner, Kessler, & House, 1991; Vinokur, Price, & Caplan, 1996). Job loss can result in loss of identity, social contacts, and self-worth (Amundson & Borgen, 1992; Beehr, 1995). Coupled with economic loss, the emotional toll can be devastating."

Axelrod, A. (2006).  Profiles in Audacity: Great Decisions and How They Were Made.
"[Bill] Gate's role in the creation of modern civilization was made possible in part through genetic predisposition, through being in the right place at the right time, and through certain deliberate decisions he made." (p. 124)
