Cover Image A resource for self-discovery, Revealing the Truth about Human Nature brings the college student face-to-face with his or her true self – his or her special abilities, goals, and values – so that he or she can successfully handle the rapid transformations that are occurring in tertiary education, including: Changing perception of college and university students as emerging adults, eager to figure out who they are and what they want to do with their lives; rather than as recruits to be trained or groomed for the labor market. Growing recognition of college and university as the single best opportunity for young people to discover themselves - their unique abilities, interests, passions, values, goals, motivations. Increasing significance of non-academic goals, including “self-discovery”; "Learning about yourself is perhaps the single most important outcome of a powerful educational experience. ... Education should be a powerful process of increasing self-awareness, of coming to know yourself and of learning the intrinsic value of who you are as a human being." Evidence that the best learning outcomes occur when students are able to integrate the knowledge they acquire into their personal value structures, goals, and interests. Evidence that facilitating students’ self-discovery simultaneously enhances other education outcomes, including academic performance, leadership development, and psychological well-being. Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature provides insights and practical guidance for turning these transformations into enhanced academic performance and overall student success. Deeper and fuller understanding of “what it really means to be human” helps college students in their search for answers to those persistent life questions every emerging adult inevitably encounters at this stage of his or her development: Who am I as a person? What do I desire most in my life? What brings me the greatest joy when I do it? What are my special abilities, values, and interests? What do I particularly like to contribute to society and the world? “Since humans are meaning-seeking creatures,” the author argues, “the primary goal of education must be to enable every student to find purpose in his or her chosen field of study and, eventually, in his or her career.” Words that speak to the student personally, deeply, and directly make Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature a valued and treasured personal companion in the tortuous journey of self-discovery, personal development, and career choice. “Foundational and essential resource for every college and every university student" is the author's description of Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature.” Published and publicly-accessible reviews describe the book vatiously as: § “a truly phenomenal and path-breaking book” § “defines the path to creating a global positive future for generations to come” § “engaging and thought provoking” § “may well help readers to begin the important journey: of ‘Know Thyself’” § “a compelling read … timeless and useful … has a universal appeal … makes us ponder the purpose of our existence” § “throws light on our innermost nature and helps those who are seeking to reach their full potential and give the world their best” § “an excellent read … masterfully illustrates how imagination and creativity drive human evolution and how we can use these as tools to create a better future” § “outstanding book” § “one of the best books I have read!!!” The E-Book version of Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human Nature, ISBN 9781622875160, published by First Edition Design Publishing, is available online across e-book reading platforms.
