The article I read about was called "Tapping the Power Within" by Hara Estroff Marano, This article talks about finding our authentic power. The author explains authentic power as how we govern ourselves being able to do different things such as over come our fears and be able to express ourselves while avoiding conflict. Authentic power is not something that your born with and once you have it it doesn't just stay with you, you have to work hard to maintain that power. The author states that you don't just establish authentic power you usually gain it by life experiences and that if your willing to open yourself up to the world and it's opportunities then you will keep your authentic power.
I think that this article relates to psychology because power is in your mind and the way you think and how much power and how you use it deals with your mind. I don't really know what to think about this article but I do agree with the author that you gain will power through life experiences and if you don't live your life and open your self up to the world and the people around you that the will power will go away and you'll be defenseless.
