Here at SFG, we support an ongoing educational culture. One of the ways we do this is holding an employee book club meeting several times per year to share about nonfiction books we’ve read. Additionally, we keep a library of books in our conference room for our clients and guests. These books all relate to one of our Four Capitals — Financial, Physical, Intellectual, and Psychological — and offer insight into the Four Capitals approach we are so committed to.

Below is a current list of our SFG Library books related to Psychological Capital (the other capital book overviews will be shared in the coming months):

Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn’t Be Done by Mick Ebeling

Not Impossible is a true testament to the power of determination. It encourages us to believe that all problems can be solved—and that each of us has the ability to change the world and make “miracles” happen. The author originally set out to perform a simple act of kindness for one person and that quickly turned into a lifelong mission for him. In the process he discovered that he could, indeed, change the world by asking himself two simple questions: “If not now, when?” and “If not me, who?”.  The author shares his inspirational stories in this book and shows how we should toss out our old ways of thinking and look at changing the world from a new perspective.

Fight On: A Gift of Encouragement by M.H. Clark
