Document Summary

First wave freud; second wave behaviourist; third wave humanist. You are your choices (personal responsibility); don"t blame anyone for what"s in your life: take full responsibility for your own mistakes and successes. Emphasized on the here and now; why would you waste time what"s already happened and don"t think about tomorrow: emphasis is not goal-directed nor past-focus. Growth is about making our lives more difficult in effort to improve ourselves: we are born good people; destruction comes from the society. Psychology and physics envy: make science answer the questions for you; don"t let science restrict you from research. Everything has a purpose, has an essence (long believed essence before existence: humanists said existence comes first; you must be alive to be what you want, your existence is the first and last thing you have. Should it be theory-driven or data- driven: the more you"re stuck on theory, the more stuck in your existence, let us be us.
