Description:What makes us tick?Why do we do what we do?What is “human nature”?We’re often encouraged to distract, amuse, and enjoy ourselves, but far less to know ourselves."Know Thyself" is age-old advice. It presumes that we don’t know ourselves. Yet it makes intuitive going through life without knowing ourselves seems like a guaranteed recipe for disaster.But how can we “know ourselves”?Where can we find a trustworthy model of “human nature”?Jonathan Cook, Editor-in-Chief of LiveReal.com, draws from the spiritual and philosophical traditions that have guided humanity across the world and over thousands of years.Modern psychology often focuses narrowly on what can be quantified and measured, resulting in a fragmented and often incoherent approach. In contrast, the “psychology” or “science of the soul” found implicit in various traditions has served as a sturdy foundation for "the higher life" life across centuries. This underlying model of human nature offers tried-and-tested insights into what is often our greatest ourselves.But what is this age-old "psychology"? Are there areas of overlap where Aristotle, the Dalai Lama, Thomas Aquinas, Rumi, Augustine, Kierkegaard, Yoga psychology, the Buddhist Abhidharma, and many others agree?The Perennial Psychology gathers insights from Zen, Christianity, Taoism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and more to demonstrate that these approaches do indeed overlap. There is a common ground.This "common ground" is something any serious student of human nature should be familiar with.These insights can have profound effects.
