Publisher's Synopsis
Personal development is a patchwork of practices from various schools of thought, which aim to improve self-knowledge, develop talent and potential, enhance the quality of private life, and achieve their aspirations and dreams. Personal development, however, isn't a sort of psychotherapy and results from multiple influences. Indeed, psychology and philosophy, and often dietetics and the practice of sport, are generally the basis of the rules of those involved in modern personal development; others also attach religious or esoteric notions to it. The basics of personal development psychology are to let go of all negative ideas and reformulate them into positive thoughts; it is an optimistic and simplifying ontology associated with voluntarism.
