Why do psychological capital gains so often fade after intervention?In this groundbreaking book, independent researcher Zilun Zhang reveals the missing structural mechanism:Core Meaning Integration (F). Psychological capital is not merely the sum of hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism. It is their exponential expression:PsyCap = HERO × e^FDrawing on cross-cultural narrative research, Zhang shows that when F crosses a critical threshold (? 0.70), change shifts from additive to self-reinforcing - becoming practically irreversible.
Gains no longer need constant maintenance; they begin to sustain and amplify themselves. Bridging meaning reconstruction, psychological capital theory, and living systems thinking, this book offers a new architecture for understanding why some transformations last while others erode. Essential reading for researchers, practitioners, and anyone seeking lasting change.
