Book excerpt: A bold reimagining of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs--and new insights for realizing your full potential and living your most creative, fulfilled, and connected life. When psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, lectures, and essays, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived. Kaufman's new hierarchy of needs provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment--not by striving for money, success, or "happiness," but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. While self-actualization is often thought of as a purely individual pursuit, Maslow believed that the full realization of potential requires a merging between self and the world. We don't have to choose either self-development or self-sacrifice, but at the highest level of human potential we show a deep integration of both. Transcend reveals this level of human potential that connects us not only to our highest creative potential, but also to one another. With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with exercises and opportunities to gain insight into your own unique personality, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection not only with our highest potential but also with the rest of humanity.

Book excerpt: "This volume explores the two movements in the journey to transcendence. The first is the drive to be an integrated and powerful self. The second is to leave that behind and move beyond the self into relationship. The two movements are inextricably joined - separation and attachment, autonomy and relationship. Humans are pulled simultaneously by the urge to be and to be for." "The Desiring Self is an explanation and a practical guide to the process of self-transcendence. Using case studies as well as insights from psychology and theology, it takes readers through the steps of understanding themselves as incarnate, integrated and yet transcendent beings bent on discovering their "true selves" as known by God. It is a book to be read and relished by pastoral counselors, spiritual directors, readers exploring the confluence of psychology and religion and all persons on the journey of self-transcendence."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of a human life in the material world that Buddha clearly explicated in detail in The Four Noble Truths bears a resemblance to the nature of the “Copernican-Galilean-Newtonian Revolution” that the science claimed as the paradigm shift in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.As soon as we accept this body and live on this earth, we experience the gravitational force exerted by the earth and go through “birth, aging, sickness, death” along with four others (see Chapter Two of The Four Noble Truths) with absolutely no exceptions. Regardless of whether Buddha shared his personal experiences with us or not, regardless of whether Galileo Galilei advocated Heliocentrism or not, and regardless of whether Sir Isaac Newton confirmed the existence of gravitation or not, as long as we exist in this earth—that has always been and will always be rotating around the sun, we have no other choice.Many of us often wonder . . . (1) Is Buddhism a religion? (2) Will Buddha grant us things if we regularly go to Buddhist temples, make generous donations, and then sincerely beg him? (3) Will Buddha welcome us who routinely chant his name to heaven when we die?The answers to these three questions depend on “who we are” and “what we are looking for in life”. However, we will definitely find fully appropriate explanations and perfectly logical answers in The Four Noble Truths.Before taking a journey into our existing self with The Four Noble Truths, let us take a moment to analyze obvious facts . . . (1) Straightforwardly, Sakyamuni Buddha is neither God nor the Supreme Being. He is simply a "complete awakened oneness" whose wisdom transcends "far beyond infinity" and conscience attains "absolute perfect enlightenment". (2) Indeed, Buddha did not create anything, did not invent anything, did not conceive anything, did not establish any law, did not set up any rule, and did not make up any commandment. (3) More conspicuously, Buddha did not insist us to do anything to make him famous, did not demand us to follow any Dharma's he taught, did not expect us to donate any offerings, and did not need us to enthrone him.(4) Most recognizably, Buddha did not grant a miracle to any of us, did not authorize any of us to enter heaven, did not threaten to deny any of us, did not punish any of us, and did not send any of us to hell. (5) Buddha only shared his personal experiences with us. Believe him or not, it is our own choice. Follow his advices and/or teachings or not, it is our own decision. We have full control over our life!Regardless of whether we believe or not, notice or not, realize or not, and agree or not, as soon as we accept this physical body and live on this earth, we suffer.(1) Do we really suffer?(2) What do we suffer?(3) Do we notice that life is a series of seas full of miseries?(4) Why do we suffer?(5) Who makes us suffer almost all the time?(6) Which factors that make life become a series of seas full of miseries?(7) Can we be free from all forms of afflictions in life? (8) Do we realize that we are the only ones who can rescue our very own?(9) Who else can save us and bring us to the heaven of joys and tranquility?(10) Why can no one else liberate us except for ourselves?To appreciate the real nature of a human life in this material world, to realize what the real nature is like, and to recognize "why and how" we—the only ones—can completely emancipate ourselves from miseries, let's spare a few moments of our valuable time to read on Self-Realization through Self-Transcendence (The Four Noble Truths).

Download or read book Health Promotion in Health Care Vital Theories and Research written by Gørill Haugan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. This edited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientific anthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Meaningful Work written by Ruth Yeoman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Meaningful Work examines the concept, practices and effects of meaningful work in organizations and beyond. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume reflects diverse scholarly contributions to understanding meaningful work from philosophy, political theory, psychology, sociology, organizational studies, and economics. In philosophy and political theory, treatments of meaningful work have been influenced by debates concerning the tensions between work as unavoidable and necessary, and work as a source of self-realization and human flourishing. This tension has come into renewed focus as work is reshaped by technology, globalization, and new forms of organization. In management studies, much empirical work has focused on meaningful work from the perspective of positive psychology, but more recent research has considered meaningful work as a complex phenomenon, socially constructed from interactive processes between individuals, and between individuals, organizations, and society. This Handbook examines meaningful work in the context of moral and pragmatic concerns such as human flourishing, dignity, alienation, freedom, and organizational ethics. The collection illuminates the relationship of meaningful work to organizational constructs of identity, belonging, callings, self-transcendence, culture, and occupations. Representing some of the most up to date academic research, the editors aim to inspire and equip researchers by identifying new directions and methods with which to deepen scholarly inquiry into a topic of growing importance.

Download or read book Self Realization in 21 Days written by John Robertson Thom and published by . This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: YOGA DOES NOT WORK, Buddha Was Mistaken and Disciplined Meditation is a waste of time for anyone who truly longs for enlightenment. Traditional spiritual disciplines, such as Yoga and Buddhism, or their contemporary adaptations may provide health and life style benefits, but will never lead to Enlightenment. Over the past three thousand years millions of disciples have embarked on a lifelong quest for Nirvana by following these perennial spiritual pathways, but to no avail. Gautama Buddha remains a revered spiritual icon, to this day, because he is one of the few people in history to have gained enlightenment; ironically, there has never been an enlightened Buddhist since Buddha. If you long for spiritual enlightenment than SELF- REALIZATION IN 21 DAYS has what you need. The author shares the knowledge and insight gained from his own experience of transcendence and explains how anyone can gain this joyful state of beatitude in just three weeks. In SELF-REALIZATION IN 21 DAYS you will discover: * Why it's not possible to gain enlightenment by following a spiritual pathway based on psychology, human perfectibility or spiritual evolution. * Why genuine spiritual awakenings have always occurred, suddenly and spontaneously, without recourse to any form of spiritual discipline. * What the points of commonality are between the spiritual awakenings of Gautama Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, Eckhart Tolle and Gopi Krisha and how this knowledge can lead to enlightenment. * Where the PORTAL TO SELF KNOWLEDGE is located and why this portal is the long-hidden key to Nirvana. * Why spiritual enlightenment is not just a moral or intellectual epiphany, but is, in fact, a radical alteration in the way one's world is perceived and a blissful state of being as different from normal waking awareness as waking is from sleeping and dreaming. SELF REALIZATION IN 21 DAYS reveals the secret to the bliss of SELF knowledge, a secret that has eluded humanity for millennia You could be just weeks away from NIRVANA! UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED: read the book, practice the sadhana; if you do not experience a spiritual awakening the author will refund your purchase price.
