HILLSDALE, NJ, June 9, 2026 — As artificial intelligence reshapes the future of work, career uncertainty rises, and information overload becomes the norm, author and software engineer Rosa L. Antonini is asking a different question: What is still possible with what we have, from where we are?
Today, Antonini launches her new book, Resourcefulness: The Hidden Power Smarter Than Talent, IQ, and Technology — a timely and grounded exploration of one of the most overlooked human capacities in modern life. The book is available now at https://rosaantonini.com/resourcefulness/.
To celebrate the launch, Antonini will host a free author talk this evening at 6:30 PM at Hillsdale Public Library in Hillsdale, New Jersey. The event is open to the public and will include a discussion of the book’s themes, a Q&A, and the opportunity to connect with the author in person.
“Resourcefulness begins when we stop waiting for perfect conditions and start asking what is still possible with what we have, from where we are.”
— Rosa L. Antonini
In a culture that equates success with talent, intelligence, or access to the right technology, Antonini offers a counterintuitive argument: resourcefulness — the capacity to recognize what is available and take purposeful action — may matter more than any of those things. Drawing on her more than 20 years of experience as a software engineer and data professional, she uses the logic of systems and programming to illuminate the deeper patterns that shape how people respond when life becomes uncertain.
“AI can give us more information,” Antonini writes, “but resourcefulness helps us know what to do with it.”
The book is not a traditional motivational guide. It is a practical and intellectually grounded exploration of what it means to adapt, respond, and move forward — especially when the path is unclear. Antonini argues that resourcefulness is not reserved for a few people. It is a capacity that anyone can strengthen.
The book speaks directly to professionals navigating career change, individuals overwhelmed by the speed of modern life, leaders seeking clarity during uncertainty, and anyone who has ever felt stuck and wanted a grounded way forward.
