Book Transcend

    Book Details:
  • Author : Scott Barry Kaufman
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Release : 2020-04-07
  • ISBN : 1524704989
  • Pages : 434 pages

Download or read book Transcend written by Scott Barry Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, lectures, and essays, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life.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 The Five Stages of Civilization

Download or read book The Five Stages of Civilization written by Roland Y Kim and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our prominent personality features are shaped in early childhood beyond our awareness and control. However, we can change them through our conscious effort throughout our life. The challenge is that emotional growth will stay arrested if the stress from the original environmental stimuli is not processed and resolved. Trauma is an emotional response to a shocking event like an accident, natural disaster, or witnessing or experiencing violence at any age. Still, in childhood, it can be subtle when an unintentional withdrawal of attention, rejection, separation, or abandonment is experienced, even for a short period, from the original attachment figures. This volume covers how the further development of personality is related to enhancing the awareness and skills in answering the following critical questions: What factors contribute to the arrestment of our personality structure? What is the developmental road map to follow on our journey for character building? How does the ability to set or flex boundaries in our important relationships affect our personality? What are the differences among various types of compassion as parts of our personality, such as Identification, apathy, sympathy, indifference, and empathy? How do we develop skills in communication and emotional expression? How do we cultivate emotional intelligence? How can we resolve personality conflicts in a deadlocked marriage? What are typical styles of divorce, custody, adoption, and childcare arrangement according to various stages? Why would conventional parenting practices - authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative not work with the emotionally and behaviorally challenged? What are the good and the bad in Tiger, French, and American mom parenting? How does trauma escalate into hostility according to the "Trauma-Hostility Model"? How are untreated traumas reenacted in our relationship with others or the next generation through an unconscious process? What are the stage-appropriate psychotherapy approaches and typical stress-coping and help-seeking behaviors? What are the five stages in negotiation and conflict management at home or work? What are the five stages in morality and locus of control: "Hierarchy of Human Morality?" What are the ideal leadership styles at each stage of emotional development? How are the themes and characters portrayed in movies and songs of a particular stage of emotional development? While searching for the answers, the readers will find wisdom through truth-finding, grief, acceptance, and renewed hope to embark on a challenging journey toward further growth of personality and the ultimate emotional freedom.

Book The Psychodynamics of Toxic Organizations

Download or read book The Psychodynamics of Toxic Organizations written by Howard F. Stein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding experience at work, especially in toxic organizations, is a multidimensional undertaking that must include all senses. The use of applied poetry has its primary value as an evocative approach to sensing, knowing, and understanding workplace experience. Poetry at its best condenses into relatively few words, metaphors, and images what conventional social science narratives would take much longer to articulate. Where poetry often hints and alludes, narrative seeks to spell out, expound, and complete. Where poetry leaves much mental space for the listener or reader to fill in with one’s imagination, narrative fills in the spaces with rich detail. Applied poetry and its contextual stories offer a way of accessing workplace experience that is unique and valuable in terms of understanding lives at work. The use of complementary psychodynamic theories, like all theories, is a way of trying to account for what we have found and experienced and in particular why it happened. "Why," the authors suggest, is critical in terms of understanding the sensing, images, and metaphors evoked by the poetry and stories that may resonate with hearers and readers for reasons that are unconscious and are rooted in the past. These transferences that come forward from life experience into the present are the critical data we work with. These are the data of psychoanalysis. This book both widens and deepens the scope of organizational research offered by other researchers, theorists, and approaches to understanding, interpreting, explaining, leading, and consulting with workplace organizations. Its triangulating integration of applied poetry, experience and stories behind the poetry, and the three psychoanalytic models of explaining life in workplaces, is a new and distinct contribution to organizational research, leadership, and consulting efforts to help organization members solve real, underlying problems and not offer simplistic, formulaic solutions based solely on a study of the organization’s surface. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of organizational studies, leadership, and management.
