Chapter Chapter 4 in Harnessing the Entrepreneurial Paradox, 2026, pp 45-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the emotional paradox between anger and passion in the entrepreneurial experience. While both emotions are high-intensity and action-oriented, they operate through different motivational and cognitive channels. Anger is typically reactive, arising in response to perceived injustice or obstruction, whereas passion is proactive—often rooted in identity, vision, and intrinsic motivation.
