Global Creativity Network Presents the Ultimate Curriculum Resource for the Selfie Generation

BLACKSBURG, Va. - July 12, 2014 - PRLog -- A quiet revolution is gradually transforming the curriculum in some tertiary institutions: Self-discovery is increasingly being recognized as the most fundamental purpose of higher education. There is a related recognition of college, or university, as a singular opportunity for young people to explore who they really are, as well as the purpose of their lives.

The trend is by no means universal; however, it is spreading and seems irreversible. Increasing numbers of college professors are no longer teaching knowledge for knowledge's sake, but knowledge applied to the solution of issues of personal concern to students. As their teaching philosophy, they enable students both to gain vital knowledge and, also, to apply or relate the knowledge they gain to their personal interests, strengths, values, passions, and motivations.

Three aspects of this transformation are noteworthy:

The first transformation is the realization that the essence of education is self-discovery: enabling students to learn about themselves, so they can use that understanding as framework for course selection and career choice that are conducive to their goals and interests.

The second transformation is the realization that the best learning outcomes occur when students are able to practically relate the knowledge they gain to their personal needs and interests, values and motivations.

The third transformation is the changing perception of college students not as mere seekers of knowledge, but as emerging adults, eager to figure out who they really are and what they want to do with their lives.  This phase of students’ personal development is captured in those enduring life questions:

-  Who am I as a person?

-  Why am I here at this particular place and time?

-  What are my special abilities?

-  What do I care about the most?

-  What do I particularly want to contribute to the world?

The ultimate self-discovery text, Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature makes an excellent and invaluable resource for college students as they explore who they are and what they see as the purpose of their lives.  Timeless wit and wisdom that are brought together and synthesized in this book bring students face-to-face with their innermost nature:

-  What it really means to be human

-  What our life is truly about

-  What gives it meaning and enduring significance

A lifetime treasure, Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature is three vital resources in one: a) insights into students’ quintessentially creative, but largely overlooked, nature; b) a framework for course selection and career choice that are right for the student; and c) the unique contributions to society and the planet that every student embodies.
