Reflection Paper : Reflections And My Mental State Of A Man Who Has Not Gone Through My Life

The book contains a series of breakdowns of thoughts, outlooks, and emotional schemes. There are numerous exercises that help one to come to terms with issues relating to the various chapters the book contains. Some are more specific than others and require serious dedication to exercises, such as writing letters to your inner child, some are different tasks than others such as clearing your mind and imagining good in a specific person. As I

I would recommend it to other people who need to be encouraged in various ways. Perhaps it is a burnt-out therapist who feels that they are not helping people at all, or a person who can identify with one of the resident’s in the book. Every person in this book showed resiliency, not just the Modello residents. The people who were helping the residents at one time or another experienced a setback and they used the training they had and the people around them to bounce back. When Hurricane Andrew hit, many of the women that were highlighted in this book used the three principles to help them get through the storm and be thankful for living through it. They used what they learned in Modello to become resilient and through that training they taught others how they can be resilient too. Through this book I even learned that the resiliency of my childhood and adolescences isn’t lost, it’s still there when I need it. I just don’t think about it anymore just like the ladies in Modello didn’t think about it when they were using it after Hurricane

Judge the irony of the description on the back cover of the book as “self-help” when the book is all about how one cannot help themselves when becoming successful.

The book was a great read. It was filled with so much information that could be so beneficial. The first top learning from the book that I found inspirational came from the quote, “the key to human development is building on who you already are.” I think that sometimes we get too caught up in what we have to be, when we should be focusing, like what Rath said, on building who we already are. The second learning that I found was scientists finding out that even though people do change over time, their core personality traits and interests will stay with them throughout adulthood. Researchers suggest that personality traits could be determined at a much younger age. So this piece of information really surprised me, due to that I have been having

In the introduction, the authors give a very brief overview of the goal of the book and sums it up very nicely in the very first sentence where they state that the book is about “how to reach inside your own brain to create more happiness, love, and wisdom” (pg. 17). Then they give instructions on how to use the book as an operating manual for the brain with tools that can be used toward those goals. While the book weaves in research in many different disciplines such as neuroscience, psychology, and meditation, they reassure us that you do not have to be an expert in any of them to use this

Although the book was intended to be read from a neurological standpoint, I found the book to be more so motivational. My perception of the book allows me to better understand my habits and the habits of others. Through having a better understanding about habits, I realize I am able to encourage or inspire myself and others whether personal or professional to change habits when needed. For example, the book mentions how willpower is a habit for individual success and that it is a muscle not a skill. To know this information allows me and others to work towards strengthening our self-willpower so that our level of success (whatever each individual considers to be successful) will strengthen as

Congratulations. You bought this book, so you want to develop your personality and attitude and get more out from your daily life. You want to increase your wellbeing by being happier.

I would recommend this book to overachievers and people who need a boost of confidence in their life. I would recommend it to overachievers because as J.D. Vance said multiple times, “You need to stop and smell the roses”. By this he meant that sometimes you need to stop worrying so much and appreciate what you have. On his way to becoming a famous author he said that's what he regret most. I would recommend this book to people who need a boost of confidence in life because it will teach them how good they have it.

Managing Oneself by Peter F. Drucker has transformed the way I look at myself, and as a result, it changed my entire life. When I first read the book I learned many new questions to ask myself such as; what are my strength’s, how do prefer to learn, as well as how do I perform? All of these questions provided me with a plethora of information on how to manage my life and make the most out of it. I use many of the strategies that the book mentioned in my everyday life; all of which supply me with insight into who I am and who I should be. Without this book I would be a different person, I would still be searching for who I am and who I want to be. I loved this book because it supplied me with information on personal matters that have improved

To be very honest this book is really very interesting. Each part of this book is with deep message and inspire us in every part of professional as well as personal life but particularly I the most is the first technique and in that specifically Principle-1. It says “Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.” The big secrete of dealing with people is a “feelings of importance”. It is one of the basic needs after food, clothing and shelter. This basic feeling makes us feel loved and recognized. Every human being needs motivation, appreciation. The feelings of importance can increase of decrease success to any person’s life. For example Charles Dickens, Benjamin Frenklin, Thomas Chatterton and many more has the same issue and they either raise or drown down due to “Feeling of

OK I know you’re wondering, who does he think he is writing a book? Well, what I wrote, is advice. A philosophy I have come across in my 53 years of living. There are very few original thoughts left in the world. I don’t have the intelligence nor philosophical mind to generate any new ones. I did try to compile this in a meaningful manner a guide to assist you in your life’s journey. Very little of what is contained here have I lived by. Through my ignorance, stubbornness or vanity I have spent the majority of my adult life drifting. Reacting to events in my life rather than planning and taking action. This is what I hope to help you avoid. While I did not live by the philosophies and guides contained herein I wish I had. At 53, I am now aspiring to adopt many of them. Just consider this an opportunity to have a conversation with me when I’m

What concepts, principles, or ideas that you have learned, do you think you will remember the most after you leave this class?

As a physical therapy student, many peers have asked why I chose to minor in psychology rather than taking a simple course in human performance and fitness or biology. Taking this course, I am confident in my minor decision and realize the importance of mastering and utilizing effective communication, genuine listening, and authentic presence, especially in a physical therapy setting. Several counseling theories were presented over the course of the semester looking at their basic philosophies, the relationship between client and therapist, and key components to effective treatment. There were three theories in particular, Adlerian therapy, existential therapy, and rational emotive behavior therapy, which I found to really resonate with my beliefs, values, and experiences. By integrating these three theories together, using the common factors approach, I was able to identify similar core beliefs and principles in each to create my final theory of change.

The aim of the reflective essay is to highlight my own personal development skills that I have developed during first semester of my module. However, in this report I will make sure my learning ability phase and what this module has allowed me to work and understand in improving my personal skills and purpose. My major aim is to develop and assess an in depth range of my personal traits as a student in order to endorse my future development plan.
