partner in the Boston Institute for Meaningful Purpose. As a long-term
student of logoteleology, Daniel has progressed through mentorship with Luis
Marrero from pupil to partner and co-author. Working together with Luis to
add to concepts, refine theory, and progress models, Daniel also maintains a
strong focus on the practical application of meaningful purpose psychology
methods and tools.
Daniel has practiced logoteleology throughout his professional roles for more
than a decade to significant positive impact and results. As a leader and coach,
Daniel has approached life as a living laboratory of sorts, testing MP premises
and methods to benefit others and his own perspectives. Consistently receiving
feedback from peers and other colleagues that emphasises inspiration, selfawareness,
self-motivation and the motivation of others, and a strong focus
on the why behind actions and opportunities are examples of how the use of
logoteleology has brought positive ends. In addition, Daniel has experienced
profound meaning and purpose in his personal life through his journey
with logoteleology. He consistently finds meaningful purpose psychology to
bring positive outcomes in relationships, planning/goal setting, and achieving
meaningful results. This is Daniel’s first book, and he plans to continue to
write and contribute to the production of materials regarding logoteleology
through his continued work in the field.
Daniel is currently a program and team lead in the information technology
division at a global insurance and financial services company. Prior to this,
Daniel had worked with other highly recognizable brands in the automobile
and audio technology industries. In addition to these roles, Daniel has been
and remains an active member of several high-profile professional associations
and industry groups.
Daniel holds an undergraduate degree in business psychology from the
University of Massachusetts—Amherst. Pursuing the education brought
a valuable mechanism for growing and evolving his perspectives in all
facets of life, among them how to view the way he and others worked in
the organizational systems in which they all participated. As meaning,
motivation, and purpose were key themes Daniel focused on, progressing
xii
through leadership opportunities (both formal and informal) made available
chances to put into practice what learnings and other insights he had. A lifelong learner, Daniel continues his formal education as a current student
at the University of Massachusetts Isenberg School, pursuing an MBA
specializing in business analysis. Applying this education and the broadening
of perspective that accompanies studying, learning, and growing continues
to benefit Daniel as a professional and as a student of business, psychology,
and throughout life.
Daniel works in Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife Nahir and their
two children Isabel and Isaac.
Luis A. Marrero is the founding partner of the Boston Institute for
Meaningful Purpose and the pioneer of meaningful purpose psychology
(MP) and Organization Development 2.0 (OD2.0). Since studying and
doing his graduate thesis work on Eric Berne’s Transactional Analysis (TA)
psychology in the late ’70s, Luis leveraged his knowledge of psychology,
developed methods, and delivered solutions that would meet and exceed
business goals. During the ’80s, Luis designed ‘people-first’ leadership and
organization development solutions to intrinsically motivate stakeholders to
outperform expectations. This ‘people-first’ approach became the foundation
for his OD2.0 theory and methods.
Over time, adding to his TA (influenced by Freud’s analytical psychology)
knowledge, Luis was later influenced by four masters in their respective fields:
Kurt Lewin’s social psychology, Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, Alfred Adler’s
individual psychology, and Harold Bridger’s Tavistock. Luis was mentored
by Dr. Bridger and taught Tavistock laboratories at NTL Institute during
the ’80s and ’90s. These giants of the field, in addition to others, helped him
shape the propositions to what is today meaningful purpose psychology, or its
scientific name, logoteleology, the subject of this his second book. While his interventions were successful, Luis was intrigued by what social,
economic, and organizational macro-indicators revealed. Psychology and
other solutions were having a limited positive impact in people’s daily lives
and within organizations. Instead, these indicators were going in the wrong
direction over the years; discovering why this phenomenon was happening
and finding a remedy became a life quest. This quest led to the creation of
meaningful purpose psychology and his first book, The Path to a Meaningful
Purpose: Psychological Foundations of Logoteleology.
Even before the publication of The Path, Luis has been applying, refining, and
teaching logoteleological methods and solutions to therapists, consultants,
counselors, coaches, college professors, industry leaders, and the general
public. In addition, through his practice as a coach, OD consultant, and
assessing leaders, Luis, with fellow collaborator, Daniel E. Persuitte, has been
polishing both the theory and approaches. This second book reveals the
theory’s advancement.
Luis earned his B.A. in History from Siena Heights University in Adrian,
Michigan, and his M.A. in Human Resource Management from the University
of Puerto Rico. In addition, he did post-graduate studies at NTL Institute,
The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology and earned professional
certifications. He conducts psychological and leadership assessments, coaches,
and consults with Fortune 500 companies worldwide.
Luis lives and works in Massachusetts and Florida with his wife, Nahir. He
enjoys riding his bicycle and studying psychology, leadership, and history.view less
