Through the selected readings, students become familiar with various views on what makes for a positive, fulfilled existence from behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and multicultural perspectives.
Featuring the work of seminal psychological thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, Karen Horney, Carl Rogers, and Anaïs Nin, the book encourages readers to examine their diverse viewpoints on making life both significant and joyous.
