From Powerlessness to Powerfulness

A self-help book by Dr. Bonaventura Mutayoba Balige that emphasises the human capacity to shape the kind of person one becomes. The author argues that true power in life comes from allowing a Higher Power to take the central position in one’s life, and the book proposes practical ways to cultivate that disposition. Addressed to readers facing hopelessness, pain, or the sense that life is not worth living, it offers the message that the Higher Power is ready to transform lives. Dr. Balige holds a Master’s in Counselling from Loyola University Maryland (1999) and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Adler University, Chicago (2004). A former Jesuit priest, he now runs NEHOTA Wholeness Programs in Dar es Salaam, offering counselling services and psychosocial training.
