SELF-OBSERVATION
Charles Tart |
 |
|
Countless factors can mitigate against self-observation in Western society. Charles Tart, Ph.D., noted psychologist and author of Waking Up, suggests we begin by learning to focus on seemingly trivial details such as bodily sensations. Through repeated and diligent practice, he says, the process of self-observation leads us to a larger view of ourselves and our potential. |

BECOMING MORE FULLY HUMAN
Virginia Satir |
 |
|
The problems of society result less from an intrinsic "evil" in human nature than from our failure to stop repeating behavior patterns from the past. Change, says Virginia Satir, begins with learning to accept and understand the many parts of oneself. The late Ms. Satir, one of the most influential psychologists of her day, was the author of Conjoint Family Therapy, Peoplemaking, Self Esteem and numerous other books. | |

| "It looks like the key is our own image of ourselves, our own self concept -- the way we actually see ourselves, the way we rate ourselves against other people: "I'm not as good as; I'm only as good as; I'm better than." The way we maintain our opinion of our abilities is the major stumbling block towards doing better than our abilities." --James Fadiman |
