The New Psychology of Success By Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.
Page 10
Many professors who have adopted Mindset in their courses tell me that the students enjoy it tremendously, that it provokes excellent class discussions, and that it lends itself to useful and interesting exercises.... They have told me that many of their students gain the courage to pursue their most valued goals, ones they may not have pursued in the past because of the fear of failure. Author Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. on her book Mindset
Page 22
With massive documentation across the entire spectrum of physical and mental healing professions, historian Paul Stepansky mounts a provocative thesis that links the fractionation (or pluralism) of psychoanalytic theory and praxis both to the longacknowledged crisis within the field and to the growing public disenchantment with psychoanalysis in its intellectual, cultural, and therapeutic aspects. This book is a clarion call for urgent remedial attention and effective coordinated response. Robert S. Wallerstein, M.D., former President of the American Psychoanalytic Associationand the International Psychoanalytical Association

Another reason, Im told, why students like this book is that I include many examples of myself and my own two sisters. Students appreciate seeing the author of a textbook as a person they can relate to. Even the title evokes immediate recognition because so many have heard or said it.

n Carrot and Sticks, Yale professor of law and economics and New York Times bestselling author Ian Ayres applies the learning of behavioral economicsthe fascinating new science of rewards and punishmentsto introduce the concept of commitment contracts, and shows how to tailor these contracts to radically increase their effectiveness. Through the compelling case studies of individuals and businesses using such contracts, from the electrical engineer who risked $400 to make himself stop artificially sneezing, to the writer and her friend who pledged to pay each other $5,000 for every cigarette they smoked, Ayres demonstrates how behavioral economics can help supercharge incentives, and what kinds of commitments work for different people.
For about thirty years there has been increasing study of how people try, and sometimes succeed, in managing their own behavior: smoking, eating, procrastinating, drinking, losing their temper, fears and phobias, games, fingernails. . . . The list goes on. Here is an entertaining report on one of the basic techniques of overcoming what the ancient Greeks called weakness of will. All can enjoy it; many may discover it therapeutic.

Now in Paperback
re we our brothers keepers? Do we have an instinct for compassion? Or are we, as is often assumed, only on earth to serve our own survival and interests? In this thoughtprovoking book, the acclaimed author of Our Inner Ape examines how empathy comes naturally to a great variety of animals, including humans. By studying social behaviors in animals, such as bonding, the herd instinct, the forming of trusting alliances, expressions of consolation, and conflict resolution, Frans de Waal demonstrates that animalsand humansare preprogrammed to reach out. He has found that chimpanzees care for mates that are wounded by leopards, elephants offer reassuring rumbles to youngsters in distress, and dolphins support sick companions near the waters surface to prevent them from drowning. Humans also demonstrate similar innate sensitivities to faces, bodies, and voices; the species has been designed to feel for one another. De Waals theory runs counter to the assumption that humans are inherently selfish, which can be seen in the fields of politics, law, and finance, and which seems to be evidenced by the current greed-driven stock market collapse. But he cites the publics outrage at the U.S. governments lack of empathy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as a significant shift in perspectiveone that helped Barack Obama become elected and ushered in what may well become an Age of Empathy. Through a better understanding of empathys survival value in evolution, de Waal suggests, we can work together toward a more just society based on a more generous and accurate view of human nature.

leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. has discovered in more than twenty years of research that mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates ones whole mental world. In Mindset, she argues that it explains how individuals become optimistic or pessimistic, shaping their goals, their attitude toward work and relationships, and how they raise their kids ultimately predicting whether or not they will fulfill their potential. She demonstrates that mindset unfolds in childhood and adulthood and drives every aspect of ones life, from work to sports, from relationships to parenting. She illustrates how creative geniuses in all fieldsmusic, literature, science, sports, businessapply the growth mindset to achieve results. Highly engaging and drawing upon years of research, Mindset breaks new ground as it offers compelling methods to change ones manner of thinking for a more productive life.
A good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. I have found Carol Dwecks work on mindsets invaluable in my own life, and even life-changing in my attitudes toward the challenges that, over the years, become more demanding rather than less. This is a book that can change your life, as its ideas have changed mine. Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Education and Psychology at Yale University, director of the PACE Center of Yale University, and author of Successful Intelligence A serious, practical book. Dwecks overall assertion that rigid thinking benefits no one, least of all yourself, and that a change of mind is always possible, is welcome. Publishers Weekly Highly recommended. . . . This book is an essential read for parents, teachers, coaches, and others who are instrumental in determining a childs mind-set, and in turn, his or her future success, as well as for those who would like to increase their own feelings of success and fulfillment.

rguing for the importance of attachment and emotionality in the developing human consciousness, four prominent analysts explore and refine the concepts of mentalization and affect regulation. Their bold, energetic, and encouraging vision for psychoanalytic treatment combines elements of developmental psychology, attachment theory, and psychoanalytic technique. Drawing extensively on case studies and recent analytic literature to illustrate their ideas, Fonagy, Gergely, Jurist, and Target offer models of psychotherapy practice that can enable the gradual development of mentalization and affect regulation even in patients with long histories of violence or neglect. In their book, the authors provide an exhaustive review of psychoanalytic and developmental psychological research, employing an array of detailed and engaging case studies. They then put forth a comprehensive theory for the way in which the abilities to mentalize (make and use mental representations of ones own and other peoples emotional states) and affect regulation (control ones own emotions as is appropriate to environment) can determine a persons successful development. They also discuss the ways in which bad or insufficient parenting can leave children unable to modulate and interpret their own feelings, as well as the feelings of those around them, and consider the implications for personality disorders and general psychological problems of self-confidence, etc. Finally they evaluate the role of psychoanalytic therapy in addressing this problem in patients, by teaching them in later life to develop these cognitive/emotional capabilities.
Stunning in its scope, powerfully reasoned, clinically rich in telling cases, and historically sophisticated. What an intellectual delight to have a book that stays in your mind, continues to challenge, and offers new directions for understanding.

Book Excerpt from Affect Regulation, Mentalization, and the Development of the Self
We apply a philosophy-of-mind approach to our work in order to capture and specify the process by which infants fathom the minds of others and eventually their own minds. The notion that we fathom ourselves through others has its source in German Idealism and has been articulated further by analytic philosophers of mind. The use of philosophy of mind in this way is common in the field of social cognition. What differentiates our approach is the attention we give not just to cognition, but to affects as well. In this regard, we rely on attachment theory, which provides empirical support for the notion that an infants sense of self emerges from the affective quality of relationship with the primary caregiver. Indeed, our work does not just borrow from attachment theory, but offers a significant reformulation of it. We shall argue that attachment is not an end in itself; rather, it exists in order to produce a representational system that has evolved, we may presume, to aid human survival. Another way to think about the contribution of this book, therefore, is as an effort to resolve some of the historical tensions between psychoanalysis and attachment theory. Let us say a little more about the main theme of this work and its relation to the trio of terms found in our title. Our main focus throughout is on the development of representations of psychological states in the minds of infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Mentalizationa concept that is familiar in developmental circlesis the process by which we realize that having a mind mediates our experience of the world. Mentalization is intrinsically linked to the development of the self, to its gradually elaborated inner organization, and to its participation in human society, a network of human relationships with other beings who share this unique capacity. We have used the term reflective function to refer to our operationalization of the mental capacities that generate mentalization. Mentalization is intimately related to the development of both the agentive and the representational aspects of the self: both the I and the Me described by W. James. A great deal of attention has been paid to the development of self-representation, Jamess Me or the empirical self, which encompasses the development of the set of characteristics that we believe to be true of ourselves even if this knowledge is inferred from the reactions to us from our social environment. Thus, this aspect of mentalization is a concept with a rich history in both psychoanalytic theory and cognitive psychology. However, the self as a mental agentor, as we have referred to it elsewhere, the psychological selfis a relatively neglected subject of study. The relative neglect by psychologists and psychoanalysts of the developmental processes that underpin the agentive self may be seen as a residue of the traditionally powerful Cartesian doctrine of first-person authority that claims direct and infallible introspective access to intentional mind states, rather than seeing this access as a hard-won developmental acquisition.

KEEPER
One House, Three Generations, and a Journey into Alzheimers
By Andrea Gillies
Winner, Wellcome Trust Book Prize
NEW
ndrea Gillies moved with her husband and children to a spacious Victorian house in remote northern Scotland in order to allow Chriss parents to move in with them and be cared for by Andrea, who works at home. It was his mother Nancy, who suffered from Alzheimers Disease, who needed a full-time caretaker. Over the next two years Andrea experienced frustration, rage, isolation, exhaustion, and occasional moments of hope and humor, but was left with a deepening sense of Nancys inescapable misery. Alzheimers most pernicious quality, as Gilliess narrative vividly illustrates, is that it robs the person of her fundamental essence. The loss of memory is, in effect, the loss of ones very self. Keeper is an engrossing memoir and meditation on memory and the mind, on family, and on a society that is largely indifferent to the farreaching ravages of this baffling disease.
Gillies writes with a novelists eye for detail, and her unflinching rendering of Nancys excruciating loss of self is skillfully and tenderly drawn. As well, Gillies has delved vigorously into the research, offering the received wisdom on Alzheimers, which dictates that acceptance and distraction are the most helpful methods to deal with sufferers. . . . Moreover, her memoir is an invaluable resource on the stages of Alzheimers, history, drugs, brain function, care giving options, even literary works. Publishers Weekly, starred review Andrea Gillies account of living with Alzheimers is the perfect fusion of narrative with enough memorable science not to choke you. Its a fantastic bookdown to earth and darkly comic in places. The Psychologist With an economy of expression, an eye for detail and a storytellers knack for dialogue, Gillies charts Nancys terrible course from doddering to vicious and her own decline into caregiver dementia . . . An unvarnished cautionary tale. Kirkus, starred review
About the Author ANDREA GILLIES is a newspaper columnist in the United Kingdom. Keeper, her first book, has been praised in the British press for its accessible literary style and its balanced elucidation of both the science of Alzheimers Disease and the toll it takes on sufferers and carers alike. The Times Literary Supplement called it a relevant and important book . . . required reading for carers caught up in the tidal wave of dementia coming our way. 14 www.randomhouse.com/academic
When I was a carer of someone with Alzheimers disease, my mother-in-law Nancy, I thought the fact that Im a natural consumer of printed word, a gobbler of books and print information, would help me with my new role. I went out looking for guidance. Perhaps it was bad luck, but the books that I found in my local bookshop were of the kind that reassure a carer that all will be well with the right approach: that, in effect, the happiness or otherwise of the person with dementia is down to the right kind of handling. Ive learned that this is nonsense. Dementias are unlike any other kind of disease in being diseases of Selfhood. The physical progress of Alzheimers through the brain, robbing a person first of memory and then of the autobiographical basis of identity, is to blame for the unhappiness that Alzheimers brings. Its often thought that memory is a vault, an archive that we can visit, but the truth is that its a process, an orchestral process fuelled by millions of co-operative neurons working together. Self,, the experience of self, self-knowledge, is likewise a process and not something fixed. It is constantly being made and remadeand so it can be unmade. Consciousness isnt just about doing and knowing, but knowing that weve done and have known. Keeper is a unique kind of dementia memoir, in interweaving the story of Nancys decline, (tracking that steady and shocking decline with anecdotes, with vivid records of conversations between the two of us as Nancy becomes more ill), with a wideranging exploration of what Alzheimers is, and what it means for us as humans. Dementia is a ticking time-bomb in our society. A tsunami of dementia is coming our way. There are about 35 million people with one of the 100 or so kinds of dementia, across the world. By 2030 there will be around 65 million. By 2050, the numbers are forecasted to be in the region of 115 million. Where will it end? More importantly, how will it end? In the USA in 2008, $5.6 billion was spent on cancer research, and only $0.4 billion on dementia science. Pronouncements about medical advances in identifying and treating dementiaeven preventing its onsetare almost daily events in the media, but the truth is that nobody really knows for sure what it is, or where it comes from, or how we can fight it. In the meantime, whats needed is greater understanding of the devastation that dementia can wreak on sufferers and the families of sufferers. I hope you find Keeper a stimulating and thought-provoking read, and a very meaningful one to share with your students.

This is a book to help you change things when change is hard. Well consider change at every levelindividual, organizational, and societal. Maybe you want to help your brother beat his gambling addiction. Maybe you need your team at work to act more frugally because of market conditions. Maybe you wish more of your neighbors would bike to work. Usually these topics are treated separatelythere is change management advice for executives and self-help advice for individuals and change the world advice for activists. Thats a shame, because all change efforts have something in common: For anything to change, someone has to start acting differently. Your brother has got to stay out of the casino; your employees have got to start booking coach fares. Ultimately, all change efforts boil down to the same mission: Can you get people to start behaving in a new way? We know what youre thinkingpeople resist change. But its not quite that easy. Babies are born every day to parents who, inexplicably, welcomed the change. Think about the sheer magnitude of that change! Such an idea would never fly in the work world: Would anyone agree to work for a boss whod wake you up twice a night, screaming, for trivial administrative duties? And what if, every time you wore a new piece of clothing, the boss spit up on it? Yet people dont resist this massive change they volunteer for it. Enormous changes are all around us, and they often come voluntarilynot just babies, but marriages and new homes and new technologies and new job duties. Meanwhile, other behaviors are maddeningly intractable. Smokers keep smoking and kids grow fatter and your husband cant ever seem to get his dirty shirts into a hamper. So there are hard changes and easy changes. What distinguishes one from the other? In this book, well argue that successful changes share a common patternthey require the leader of the change to do three things at once. Weve already seen the first of those three things: To change someones behavior, youve got to change their situation. The situation isnt the whole game, of course. An alcoholic might go dry in rehab, but what happens when they leave? Your sales reps might be hyper-productive when the sales manager shadows them, but what happens afterward? For someones behavior to change, youve got to influence not just their environment but their hearts and minds. The trick is this: Often the heart and mind disagree. Fervently.

COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility
By Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D.
http://www.ellenlanger.com
f we could turn back the clock psychologically, could we also turn it back physically? For more than thirty years, awardwinning social psychologist Ellen Langer has studied this provocative question, and now, in Counterclockwise, she presents the answer: Opening our minds to whats possible, instead of presuming impossibility, can lead to better healthat any age. Drawing on landmark work in the field and her own body of colorful and highly original experimentsincluding the first detailed discussion of her counterclockwise study, in which elderly men lived for a week as though it was 1959 and showed dramatic improvements in their hearing, memory, dexterity, appetite, and general well-beingLanger shows that the magic of rejuvenation and ongoing good health lies in being aware of the ways we mindlessly react to social and cultural cues. Examining the hidden decisions and vocabulary that shape the medical world (chronic versus acute, cure versus remission), the powerful physical effects of placebos, and the intricate but often defeatist ways we define our physical health, Langer challenges the idea that the limits we assume and impose on ourselves are real. With only subtle shifts in our thinking, in our language, and in our expectations, she tells us, we can begin to change the ingrained behaviors that sap health, optimism, and vitality from our lives. Immensely readable and riveting, Counterclockwise offers a transformative and bold new paradigm: the psychology of possibility. A hopeful and groundbreaking book by an author who has changed how people all over the world think and feel, Counterclockwise is sure to join Mindfulness as a standard source on new-century science and healing.
Ellen Langer offers us brilliant insights into subtleties that hold us back in life, and shows the way to shining new possibilities. Counterclockwise will change the way you see and think. Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., author of Emotional Intelligence

hy has American psychoanalysis been relegated to the margins of American mental health care? In this masterful summing up of three decades of experience as a psychoanalytic editor and publisher, Paul Stepansky tells the story of a once cohesive discipline that has splintered into rivalrous part-fields and now struggles to survive in a postanalytic world of cognitive-behavioral interventions, brief therapy, psychopharmacology, and managed care. Simultaneously, it is a cautionary tale of the inevitable marginalization of any profession that resists integration into the scientific mainstream of its time and place. Beyond its self-evident importance to psychoanalysts and other proponents of talking therapy, Psychoanalysis at the Margins provides an in-depth case study of the role of books, journals, and publishing in the rise and fall of a historically insular profession. For Stepansky, the near-demise of psychoanalytic publishing in America is a microcosm of the crisis of small scholarly and professional publishing in an era that has witnessed the ascendancy of internet chat groups, online seminars, Amazon.com, and electronic journal subscriptions. Other Press Professional | HC 978-1-5905-1340-8 | 384pp. $39.00/$47.00 Can. | Exam Copy: $19.50 Positioning present-day psychoanalysis as an alternative healing modality, Stepansky explores the initiatives that have enabled other alternative professions to survive and even thrive in the face of mainstream opposition. Is it possible, he asks, that the lessons of alternative medicine can guide psychoanalysis to an optimal marginality that draws the mainstream to it? Pursuing pathways to this goal, Stepansky enjoins analysts to undertake a host of initiatives in the public interest that bring analytic knowledge to bear in those contexts where it can do the most good.
Stepansky has produced a carefully researched, cogently argued, clearly written, magnificent book with a great many original ideas. It is a work that everyone interested in psychoanalysistherapists, patients and laymen alike should read. As his many telling arguments are absorbed, psychoanalysis should never be the same. The book, in my view, is destined to become a classic. Louis Breger, Ph.D., American Imago

ark Vonnegut first experienced a series of psychotic breaks as a young man while living on a commune after college. He was treated with electrotherapy, Thorazine and massive doses of vitamins to cure his schizophrenia. While he recovered in the family home in Massachusetts, he began coursework toward becoming a doctor. Though he excelled at his studies, Marks personal life was often unsettled: his parents relationship had dissolved, his own relationship with his father was strained, his marriage was in trouble, his son constantly had bronchitis, and chilled mugs and wine futures were a pretty mask on alcoholism. And then, in the mid-80s, the voices returned. After attempting to dive through a closed third-floor window, he awoke in restraints at Mass General Hospital, where he had trained and worked. Mark Vonnegut offers this stirring account of the past thirty-five years of his lifefrom Harvard Medical school and a brilliant pediatrics career to the terrifying return of mental illnesswhile also reflecting on his unique New England childhood as the only son of a not-yet-famous Kurt Vonnegut.
Two not unrelated challengesbeing novelist Kurt Vonneguts son and suffering episodes of schizophreniashape, but don't confine, this mordantly witty, slightly subversive memoir. . . . Vonnegut vividly conveys the bizarre logic of the voices and delusions that occasionally plagued him, which he finds not much nuttier than what passes for normalcy. (Hes especially incensed by the insurance bureaucracies he thinks are ruining medicine.) His fathers son, he writes with a matter-of-fact absurdismThe patient who just died lies there quietly and everyone else stops rushing around trying to do something about itchampions misfits, and attacks the system. All his own are Vonneguts hard-won insights into the value of a humble, useful life picked up from pieces. Publishers Weekly

Book Excerpt from Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So
Chapter 1 A Brief Family History Its good to have a sixth gear, but watch out for the seventh one. If you think too well outside the box, you might nd yourself in a little room without much in it. The arts are not extracurricular. One hundred thirty-nine years ago, my great-grandfather Bernard Vonnegut, fteen years old, described as less physically robust than his two older brothers, probably asthmatic, started crying while doing inventory at the family hardware store. When his parents asked what was wrong, he said he didnt know but he thought he wanted to be an artist. I dont want to sell nails, he sobbed. Maybe his parents should have beaten him for being ungrateful, but they wanted their son to be happy and the business was successful enough that they could hire someone else to do inventory. He became an apprentice stonecutter and then went to Europe to study art and architecture. He designed many buildings in Indianapolis that still stand today. He drew beautifully, made sculptures and furniture. He was also happily married and had three children, one of whom was Kurt senior, my grandfather, who was known as Doc and who also became an architect. Doc could also draw and paint and make furniture. He made wonderful chessboards, one of which he gave to me when I was nine. When he was sixty, Doc was pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign. The cop was astonished to notice that his drivers license had expired twenty years earlier. So shoot me, said Doc. At the end of his life, which had included nancial ruin in the Great Depression, his wifes barbiturate addiction and death by overdose, and then his own lung cancer, Doc said, It was enough to have been a unicorn. What he meant was that he got to do art. It was magic to him that his hands and mind got to make wonderful things, that he didnt have to be just another goat or horse. When I worked on the Harvard Medical School admissions committee, artistic achievements were referred to as extras. The arts are not extra. If my great-grandfather Bernard Vonnegut hadnt started crying while doing inventory at Vonnegut Hardware and hadnt told his parents that he wanted to be an artist instead of selling nails and if his parents hadnt gured out how to help him make that happen, there are many buildings in and around Indianapolis that wouldnt have gotten built. Kurt senior wouldnt have created paintings or furniture or carvings or stained glass. And Kurt junior, if he existed at all, would have been just another guy with PTSDno stories, no novels, no paintings. And I, if I existed at all, would have been just another broken young man without a clue how to get up off the oor.

ANATOMY OF AN EPIDEMIC
Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America
By Robert Whitaker
www.madinamerica.com
n Anatomy of an Epidemic award-winning science and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates, in the first book of its kind, the merits of psychiatric medications through the prism of long-term results, asking the question: Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States tripled over the past two decades? During the past fifty years, when investigators looked at longterm outcomes, studies on various psychiatric drugsincluding those used to treat depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD have consistently found that these medications, for some paradoxical reason, increase the likelihood that people will become chronically ill, less able to function well, more prone to physical illness. Having given this shocking analysis of these findings, Whitaker then asks why the results from these long-term studies been kept from the public? He concludes with personal stories of children and adults swept up in this epidemic, and reports on innovative programs of psychiatric care in Europe and the United States that are producing good long-term outcomes.
This is the most alarming book Ive read in years. The approach is neither polemical nor ideologically slanted. Relying on medical evidence and historical documentation, Whitaker builds his case like a prosecuting attorney. Carl Elliott, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Center for Bioethics, University of Minnesota and author of Better than Well: American Medicine Meets the American Dream Anatomy of an Epidemic investigates a profoundly troubling question: do psychiatric medications increase the likelihood that people taking them, far from being helped, are more likely to become chronically ill? In making a compelling case that our current psychotropic drugs are causing as muchif not more harm than good, Robert Whitaker reviews the scientific literature thoroughly, demonstrating how much of the evidence is on his side. There is nothing unorthodox herethis case is solid and evidence-backed. If psychiatry wants to retain its credibility with the public, it will now have to engage with the scientific argument at the core of this cogently and elegantly written book. David Healy, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Cardiff University and author of The Antidepressant Era and Let Them Eat Prozac

It gives me great pleasure to tell you about my book, The Search for Fulfillment, which is the culmination of my life-long search for answers about what causes people to change in their adult years. As a young assistant professor, I dreamed of being able to chart the pathways of development by conducting a longitudinal study. Through a combination of good fortune and planning, and the willing cooperation of hundreds of participants, I was able to complete the study that forms the core of my book. My goal in writing the book was to shed light on the myriad ways that people change through life while at the same time identifying systematic patterns to characterize that change. As one of the early pioneers in the pedagogy of adult development and aging, I also hope that my book will be a valuable supplement to college courses in the field. By giving students insight into the real changes that adults experience, the book will educate them about development in adulthood. The book also will illuminate the research process for students. My observations about the research participants form an important part of the book. The mystery and excitement that comes along with opening the questionnaires from participants tested 10, 20, and even 35 years earlier is captured in my personal reflections that accompany the stories of the people in my study. As a scholar in this field, I have sought to educate readers about the importance of separating myths about midlife from the findings based on empirical data. The notion of a midlife crisis, long ago debunked as a myth by the scientific evidence on adult development, is one that I tackle head on in this book. Ive showed why the myth persists but, more importantly, why it is a flawed notion. Along with the midlife crisis, popular psychology portrays adulthood as a series of discrete stages punctuated by decade marker points. In my book, Ive shown that people develop in all kinds of ways in the years from late adolescence to midlife. I identify five pathways of development, providing numerous examples to illustrate each. Ive also provided Action Plans that show specific ways people can find a more fulfilling pathway if the one theyre on isnt working for them anymore. My book also has an inspiring message, one with which my students strongly resonate: change is possible at any age. People can achieve their cherished goals no matter how old they are or what theyve done with their lives so far. I provide examples both from the case studies in my book and the broader area of research on successful aging to show that peoples ability to achieve fulfillment is virtually unlimited. As an instructor of large psychology courses covering the range from the massive introductory level lecture to advanced seminars, I have developed an understanding of the best ways to engage students in the learning process. This book will educate them about this very important subject, captivate their imaginations, and inspire them to find their own fulfillment.
