Description
The Science of Change: Discovering Sustained, Desired Change from Individuals to Organizations and Communities by Richard E. Boyatzis. Our understanding of ourselves has evolved significantly over time. While early humans may have been more connected to their natural environment and community, the concept of a single, unified self began to take shape around 1,000 CE. This idea of an individual self is still debated today, with some arguing that it is authentic and genuine, while others suggest that it is dependent on our past experiences, relationships, and context. Research has shown that our self-awareness can be influenced by various factors, including the Dunning-Kruger effect, where we are unaware of what we don't know. This phenomenon highlights the complexity of human identity and the need for ongoing self-reflection. Boyatzis explores this concept in his work, providing insights into how individuals, organizations, and communities can cultivate sustained, desired change. Hardcover, 352 pages, published 2024.
