PREFACE
We both started out as high-risk kids. Our parents were immi-
grants to the United States—they were economically poor and had
little or no education. Our early lives were very hard and filled
with challenges. Although our parents wanted the best for us, they
did not know what that meant in American society or how to help
us get it.
Fortunately, some of our teachers in the early years at school
saw us as gifted and talented, and provided much-needed support
and guidance within the educational process. We did not always
get support from our schoolmates, however, as some of them saw
us as smart, capable competitors. But, the support of our teachers
helped us both decide to go to college, and to work at being suc-
cessful there.
After college, Sal went right on to graduate school in clinical
psychology, whereas Debbie concentrated on her singing career.
Receiving his doctorate, Sal started his lifelong career as a college
teacher, researcher, and practitioner. After some years as a singer,
Debbie gave up this career and also went to graduate school in
clinical psychology, received her doctorate, and embarked on a
psychological career as a practitioner, teacher, and consultant.
Before long, the similarities in our career beliefs and efforts led
our paths to cross. We both got into existential psychology, espe-
cially in how people can successfully navigate the turbulent waters
of life change. We both locked on to hardiness as the key to re-
silience under stress, not only because our research and practice
supports this view, but also because it fits with our own life experi-
ences.

Preface
Now there is so much stressful turmoil in the world and work-
place that we want to reach out to working adults by teaching
the attitudes and skills we used to find personal and professional
satisfaction and success. Hopefully, what we have to say in this
book will help you turn stressful changes to your advantage.
