L'Evoluzione Psicologica (Master University)

L'Evoluzione Psicologica (Master University)

Tutti gli animali seguono in natura un processo evolutivo che dallo stato di cucciolo (dipendenza alimentare) li porta allo stato di adulto (indipendenza alimentare) e poi allo stato di genitore (capacità nutritiva e assistenziale). Nell’essere umano questo processo è soprattutto psicologico. Il mancato sviluppo della personalità adulta dà luogo alla sindrome nevrotica infantile, oggi molto diffusa, che presenta sintomi quali ansia, depressione, panico, dipendenza, somatizzazioni.

E’ ciò che è affermato nella psicologia evolutiva di cui Giulio Cesare Giacobbe è il fondatore. Descritta nel libro Alla ricerca delle coccole perdute, la psicologia evolutiva ha dato luogo alla psicoterapia evolutiva, che avvalendosi del training per lo sviluppo della personalità adulta, descritto nel libro La paura è una sega mentale, costruisce un’immagine adulta di sé capace di risolvere i sintomi sopra elencati.

A Life of Happiness and Fulfillment (Coursera)

What are the determinants of a happy and fulfilling life? This is surely one of life’s biggest questions, and a question that has interested many of our ancestors. Buddha famously gave up his kingdom in search of happiness. Several Greek philosophers (from Aristotle to Epicurus and Plato to Socrates) had their own views on what it takes to be happy. And of course, we all have our own theories about happiness too.

Intellectual Humility: Science (Coursera)

It’s clear that the world needs more intellectual humility. But how do we develop this virtue? And why do so many people still end up so arrogant? Do our own biases hold us back from becoming as intellectually humble as we could be—and are there some biases that actually make us more likely to be humble? Which cognitive dispositions and personality traits give people an edge at being more intellectually humble - and are they stable from birth, learned habits, or something in between? And what can contemporary research on the emotions tell us about encouraging intellectual humility in ourselves and others?
