Study Presents Foundation for Real Success in University Education: For Self-Discovery, Right Career Choice
Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature makes a foundational resource for college students in their quest for self-discovery and right career choice.
Is not the true purpose of education to help you to find out, so that as you grow up you can begin to give your whole mind, heart and body to that which you really love to do?
BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA, USA, August 14, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature, a treasury of wit and wisdom on the meaning and purpose of life, brings college and university students in touch with their innermost beings – their unique abilities, interests, values, goals, passions, and motivations – so they can use that understanding to select courses and pursue career paths that are meaningful, exciting, and fulfilling. — Jiddu Krishnamurti
A compendium and synthesis of practical wisdom for self-discovery and personal development, Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature “speaks” to students personally, deeply, directly, with insights they need to successfully, or effectively, handle deep-level transformations that are occurring in tertiary education, including:
Changing perception of college and university students as emerging adults, eager to figure out who they are and what they want to do with their own lives; not merely as future workforce to be trained and groomed for the labor market.
Growing recognition of college and university as the single best opportunity for young people to discover themselves: their unique brilliance, interests, passions, and qualities that distinguish them as individuals.
Increasing significance of non-academic goals, including “self-discovery”; “life purpose”; “the meaning of life”; “life-long contribution to a global society”; and “connecting with the human experience.” As Forbes observes:
"Learning about yourself is perhaps the single most important outcome of a powerful educational experience. ... Education should be a powerful process of increasing self-awareness, of coming to know yourself and of learning the intrinsic value of who you are as a human being."
Evidence that the best learning outcomes occur when students are able to integrate the knowledge they acquire into their personal values, goals, interests, and motivations.
Evidence that facilitating students’ self-discovery simultaneously enhances other education outcomes, including academic performance, leadership development, and overall psychological well-being.
The crux of the book and stated reason for its writing is answer to those persistent, soul-stirring questions every university student, every emerging adult, inevitably encounters at this stage of his or her development:
Who am I as a person?
What do I desire most in my life?
What brings me the greatest joy when I do it?
What are my special abilities, values, and interests?
What do I particularly like to contribute to society and the world?
Sobering, at times convicting, Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature makes an essential companion in the tortuous journey of self-discovery, personal development, and career choice.
