Human Learning

This is a book for people who have done some living . . . People who have won some and lost some, climbed a few mountains, and crossed a few valleys. People who are sure about a few things and a lot less sure about everything else. People who realize that being alive is not the same as actually living. Meaning Making is for those who have laughed and cried and loved and lost and are now staring down the decades that remain, wondering how to ensure they don’t miss out on the exquisite chaos of the here and now.

Traditionally, managers assumed people were lazy and would not work unless strictly controlled. McGregor, however, believed this form of management to be based on faulty assumptions about human nature, and felt that managers should reflect on their assumptions about what motivates people. He proposed they draw on research in psychology and the other social sciences to create working conditions that allow all employees to realize their full human potential.

Dark psychology studies the parts of ourselves that none of us want to recognize. Within this field, our innermost demons are delved into, and a light is shone on the places that we would rather not see but need to see. Dark psychology accepts and embraces the darker side of the human experience. In this way it is doing the same as any area of anthropocentric study does, the only difference lying in dark psychology’s specialty of this dark reality within the human animal. Dark psychology is not meant to be a pageant of villains, however.

O curso traz seis clássicos ocidentais que mostram como a literatura é um caminho de investigação sobre o humano. Boas histórias ou poemas são capazes de nos conquistar pelo coração ao nos revelarem aspectos de nós mesmos que, não obstante sua centralidade—ou talvez, por causa dela—resistem à sua tradução em palavras. Ao transportarem o ouvinte para os dramas e dilemas das personagens, a literatura é capaz de tratar dos principais desejos (e angústias), como a busca pela felicidade e por um sentido para a vida.
