Abstract
This chapter presents two alternative psychological disciplines that shed additional light on the WE phenomenon. First, the field of extreme sports psychology is examined to understand what motivates extreme athletes and to transfer the gained insights to the workplace and relate them to the WE phenomenon (6.1). Second, survival psychology is investigated in a similar way, focusing on the individual traits that characterize survivors (6.2).
