Toward a Psychology of Being Audiobook (Free)

This book is a continuation of my Inspiration and Personality, published in 1954. It had been constructed in a comparable way, that’s, by carrying out one piece at a time of the bigger theoretical structure. It really is a predecessor to function yet to be achieved toward the building of a thorough, systematic and empirically centered general mindset and philosophy which include both depths and the levels of human nature. The last chapter is to some extent a program because of this upcoming function, and serves as a about Toward a Mindset of Being bridge to it. It is a first try to integrate the ‘health-and-growth mindset’ with psychopathology and psychoanalytic dynamics, the dynamic with the holistic,

Becoming with Being, good with wicked, positive with negative. Phrased in yet another way, it is an attempt to build on the overall psychoanalytic foundation and on the scientific-positivistic foundation of experimental psychology, the Eupsychian, B-psychological and metamotivational superstructure which both of these systems lack, going beyond their limits. It’s very difficult, I’ve found, to connect to others my simultaneous respect for and impatience with these two comprehensive psychologies. So many people insist on getting either pro-Freudian or anti-Freudian, pro-scientific-psychology or anti-scientific-psychology, etc. In my opinion all such loyalty-positions are silly. Our job can be to integrate these different truths in to the entire truth, which should be our just loyalty.
