THE HUMAN SIDE OF HUMAN BEINGS – THE THEORY OF REVALUATION COUNSELING BY HARVEY JACKINS
This is a great book for explaining a lot of human behavior in simple everyday language and using a model that is unique and unlike anything that you would get from the professional psychology or psychiatric worlds.
A lot of a child’s emotional problems can be avoided simply by applying the principles in this book. It is an easy read with good information.
Harvey Jackins deftly outlines what we’ve always known, deep down, to be true about people. And does it in a way where you realize you’ve always known these things. There are things each of us has a tough time remembering.
This book takes universal truths that are often submerged in cultures and individuals and brings them back up where we can use them.
Jackins also adds some insights to the human pot of knowledge. His concept of a “distress pattern” makes it easier to picture how fear and sadness get stored, and how greatly they can interfere with every good goal.
And he shows how recovering from distress, a process every baby fully understands, can be readily accomplished by adults, even while that same distress is trying to run our lives.
If you’re interested in a better world, great friendships, teaching, parenting, addictions, genius, learning processes, global peace, or good science, this is a must-read.
