Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We live in a time when trust in leaders at all levels of society has declined, when students at colleges and universities openly acknowledge that they cheat, and when the reputations of even the most admired leaders have been sullied by misconduct. It is a time when the future of tomorrow's generation appears to be growing dimmer and those who have passed on burdens that will have to be borne have clearly neglected their moral responsibilities. Fixing the blame is far less important than fixing the problem. The root cause of today's concerns and tomorrow's future lies in the failure of those who claimed to be trusted leaders to demonstrate personal integrity. This book introduces the concept of "moral identity" as a metric for leaders and organizations of all types to reexamine their moral responsibility. We suggest that moral identity provides a compass for leaders and organizations to adopt in rethinking their obligations to themselves, to their associates, to their customers, to society, and to future generations. The book includes a metric for personal self-assessment, for guiding individuals and organizations, and for establishing a standard for evaluating those who aspire to lead. This book takes a harsh look at the failings of leaders and provides a meaningful resource to those who are willing to lead society to rethink its future"--

Download or read book Discussions on Ego Identity written by Jane Kroger and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity has been a topical issue in both popular and social science literatures for the past forty years. The writings of Erik Erikson on the identity formation process of late adolescence have provided an important theoretical foundation to clinical, counseling, and educational practices. As the literature on adolescent development has burgeoned over the last three decades, so have efforts to understand, more systematically, the means by which young people find their occupational, religious, political, sexual and relational roles in life. One of the most popular research traditions to spring from Erikson's clinical observations has been the ego identity status approach developed by James Marcia. This approach has expanded Erikson's concept of identity to describe four distinct styles by which adolescents and adults deal with identity-defining issues. The present volume reflects the most recent efforts of social scientists who have contributed further to the work that Erikson and Marcia began -- an exhaustive analysis of the issues inherent in the adolescent identity formation process.

Book excerpt: Over 69 percent of people feel trapped in their same old redundant routine. Are you one of them? Do you wake up to your alarm in the mornings, get ready for work as usual, and feel like something in your life is missing? Something with significance? Are you tired of doing the things you typically do, expecting a new outcome each time, only to be disappointed when you make absolutely no personal progress or growth whatsoever? Do you want to create a new life for yourself -- one filled with genuine happiness and a love for both yourself and what you do? Dissatisfaction is all too common nowadays. People are depressed, miserable, and hate their daily routine, feeling as if their life's purpose doesn't exist. For the most part, a major contributing factor is that you stay in your comfort zone and don't try to grow as an individual. Another part is that your mind is too fixated on The best thing you can do for yourself in times of doubt, sadness, and unfulfillment is to focus your thoughts inward and try ★★ In Self Discovery Journal, you will discover: ★★ ♦ 365 thought-provoking questions to help you better understand yourself and open the door of opportunity for change in both mindset and lifestyle ♦ How to become happy and satisfied in the life you're living, as well as how to make your dream life turn into reality ♦ The never-ending life cycle many people get sucked into, and how to dig yourself out of this torturous rabbit hole ♦ The key to maintaining a successful life, even if your goals constantly develop into something entirely new ♦ The #1 stumbling block that hinders personal growth, and how to push past its detrimental effects on your future ♦ A step-by-step manual designed to steer you in the right direction towards finding your life's purpose and achieving a fulfilled life ♦ How figuring out your personality type can help you decide what kind of life would suit you best, and how to do it The well-known saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” simply doesn’t apply here. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in your mid-twenties or your late fifties - it’s never too late for anyone to make the change they wish to see within their own self-discovery. Not only can you take this journey at your own pace and in the comfort and privacy of your own home, but there also aren’t any seminars, programs, or life coaches involved, so you can rest assured knowing there will be no extra costs draining your funds. Even if you’ve given self-discovery a try before, finding yourself ending the program with the same mindset as when you began, it is something worth fighting for and trying again and again until it finally clicks. After all, it isn’t about the destination, but the journey itself that it took to get there. The clock is ticking! Every second you spend on something that isn’t working towards finding your true self is another second wasted in misery.

Download or read book Sources of the Self written by Charles Taylor and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extensive inquiry into the sources of modern selfhood, Charles Taylor demonstrates just how rich and precious those resources are. The modern turn to subjectivity, with its attendant rejection of an objective order of reason, has led—it seems to many—to mere subjectivism at the mildest and to sheer nihilism at the worst. Many critics believe that the modern order has no moral backbone and has proved corrosive to all that might foster human good. Taylor rejects this view. He argues that, properly understood, our modern notion of the self provides a framework that more than compensates for the abandonment of substantive notions of rationality. The major insight of Sources of the Self is that modern subjectivity, in all its epistemological, aesthetic, and political ramifications, has its roots in ideas of human good. After first arguing that contemporary philosophers have ignored how self and good connect, the author defines the modern identity by describing its genesis. His effort to uncover and map our moral sources leads to novel interpretations of most of the figures and movements in the modern tradition. Taylor shows that the modern turn inward is not disastrous but is in fact the result of our long efforts to define and reach the good. At the heart of this definition he finds what he calls the affirmation of ordinary life, a value which has decisively if not completely replaced an older conception of reason as connected to a hierarchy based on birth and wealth. In telling the story of a revolution whose proponents have been Augustine, Montaigne, Luther, and a host of others, Taylor’s goal is in part to make sure we do not lose sight of their goal and endanger all that has been achieved. Sources of the Self provides a decisive defense of the modern order and a sharp rebuff to its critics.
