And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it.

As one studies these preconditions, one becomes saddened by the ease with which human potentiality can be destroyed or repressed, so that a fully-human person can seem like a miracle, so improbable a happening as to be awe-inspiring. And simultaneously one is heartened by the fact that self-actualizing persons do in fact exist, that they are therefore possible, that the gauntlet of dangers can be run, that the finish line can be crossed.

“Love it, love it, love it. For a person like me, the "concentrated wisdom" element is a terrific thing, since it gives me lots of options: buy the book, teach the concepts, enrich my conversations, or simply re-energize my thinking. I also like the way you write about what can be somewhat "heavy" subjects to most people. You lighten it up, but stay out of the way of it at the same time. It’s such a gift—I can see your site quickly becoming Inspiration Central for us all.”  ~ Kristelle Sim, Co-Creator, Dash-of-Life Coaching

Keep up the great work!”  ~ David
