Opis

DESIGNED FOR LIFE presents a series of extraordinary findings from nearly 50 years of research studying the nature and behavior of individuals when they were intensely pursuing an activity of unsurpassed personal value. Without exception, in tens of thousands of people studied one-at-a-time, author Arthur F. Miller and his research team found each person had been endowed with a unique pattern of motivated giftedness which appeared hardwired, and drove the person to achieve one certain consummation. Based on this rigorous and systematic phenomenological research, and using an idiographic paradigm, the author and colleagues were able to develop a science of persons which is predictive, comprehensive and explanatory -- a feat which psychology has been seeking since the late 19th century. Among other findings is the irrelevance of Darwinism to the nature and behavior of the person, probably because nobody ever took the time to study the individual What is so remarkable is the emergence of designed giftedness in contrast to systems of education, work and religion that consider people as infinitely malleable and available to be shaped and reshaped by their teachers, their managers, and their clergy. As a result, the great majority of people are denied and impoverished by the very institutions established to enable their fulfilling and productive lives.
