Book excerpt: Reviews: "Pay attention to him and his material, you will be glad you did." Bob Proctor, best-selling author and star of The Secret. Description: It's vitally important that you read books. As Mark Twain wrote, "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." And many would agree that "personal development" books are the ones to focus on if you're trying to improve yourself, your position in life and your quality of life. But which ones should you read? There are tens of thousands to choose from. Vic Johnson, a veteran personal development author, speaker and trainer, answers that question for us in "Self Help Books: The 101 Best Personal Development Classics." From an 1,100 page "encyclopedia of success" to a 28-page speech that became a classic more than a hundred years ago, Vic identifies the publication dates of the classics, the major theme(s) of the book and then some solid reasons to add them to your reading list. Along the way he also shares valuable anecdotes on his personal lessons learned from these authors (some of whom have mentored him). This is quick and easy reading that takes the guesswork out of choosing the books to add to your library as well as helping you prioritize your reading.

Download or read book Pathways for Life Personal Development for Students written by Francene Hash and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trending conversations amongst teachers and other professionals are showing that detention rates for student school behaviors are climbing drastically; thus, the stress on teachers also rises as they are pressured to teach a curriculum so their students can be prepared to take the end of year test. Yet, when asked by many teachers, they attest that more time is spent on controlling the classroom than on actual teaching. There can be several reasons why student behaviors have plummeted, however, this course is built on the preface that rather than to explore the reasons that caused the stats, we should address and teach Personal Development and SELF DISCIPLINE skills to empower the students as individuals. Starting at an early age, students can learn and unlearn behaviors. Parents fall into the era of being stressed as they attempt to parent their kids while they fight the economic battle of providing for their family. This challenge belongs to all of us to help mold the next generation of leaders.
Download or read book Personality Development written by P. Michiel Westenberg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Loevinger's innovative research methodology, psychometric rigor, and theoretical scope have attracted the attention of numerous scholars and researchers. Empirical investigations employing Loevinger's Washington University Sentence Completion Test of ego development (WUSCT) have appeared with increasing frequency and total more than 300 studies. Following the publication of the first comprehensive revision of the scoring manual for the WUSCT, this volume reflects on the strengths and limitations of Loevinger's developmental model. It is divided into sections that correspond with four broad questions that can be raised about Loevinger's developmental model: * What is its scope and intellectual tradition? * What evidence is there for construct validity? * What is its relationship to other social-developmental models? * What is its clinical relevance to Loevinger's model of ego development? This four-part grouping provides a framework for effectively organizing the present material, and frequently, the questions raised in one section are addressed in other sections as well. In the concluding chapter, Loevinger addresses some of the ideas that are proposed by the various authors. She also presents the origin of the ego development concept by recounting its history.

You need to write the complete grant proposal so that you will be able to adapt it to meet the requirements of different grant donors.
