Chapter Chapter 3 in Harnessing the Entrepreneurial Paradox, 2026, pp 27-44 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the emotional and existential paradox between hope and faith in entrepreneurship. Hope is commonly associated with strategic optimism, while faith speaks to deeper, identity-bound conviction. Although these concepts are often conflated, they serve different psychological and philosophical functions for entrepreneurs—particularly under conditions of uncertainty. This chapter argues that learning to distinguish, integrate, and move between hope and faith is foundational to entrepreneurial resilienceResilience.
