Description - Optimal Human Being by Kennon M. Sheldon
The phrase "optimal human being" is used to refer to the empirically documented features that tend to characterize high-quality human functioning. "Optimal human being" is a profile that is developed within the book, by consulting what contemporary theorizing at many different levels of analysis might have to say about what causes a optimal functioning. Optimal Human Being has three major goals. The first goal is to consider the nature of optimal human being, with the aim of arriving at a reasonablely comprehensive understanding of the phrase. The second goal is to canvass and in some cases criticize the state of the art in a wide variety of human sciences (personality theory being just one exemplar), while also examining some possible linkages between these different perspectives. The third goal is to propose a novel conceptual framework for the field of personality psychology, in which the major domains of personality theory and research can be located. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of social and personality, clinical, development, and industrial/organizational psychology.
