The acclaimed sequel to the international bestseller Flow: an intelligent, inspiring guide to unlocking the evolutionary history of our present consciousness, and “becoming at one with the power that is the universe.” “A book of singular importance and timeliness, one with momentous implications for the future.”— Howard Gardner In Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s bestselling Flow, he introduced readers to a radical new theory of happiness. Now in The Evolving Self—his breakthrough sequel—he demonstrates how we can understand and overcome our evolutionary shortcomings. Premised on the idea that only through a reckoning with our evolutionary past can we build a stable, meaningful future, The Evolving Self covers the challenges associated with our cognitive evolutionary history (“As far as controlling the mind is concerned, we are like a novice driver behind the wheel of a racing car”); the distortions of reality we experience due to genes, culture, and our sense of self; and the central importance of “flow” from an evolutionary perspective as we look toward the future. Erudite, perceptive, and insightful—and more important now than ever, as our consciousnesses are increasingly mediated by electronic devices—The Evolving Self is a timely resource for anyone looking to improve our world for ourselves and for generations to come.

In this work the self, which is core to such concepts as self-esteem and self-actualization, is mapped using elemental units of culture called memes. To understand this self, we draw on Western philosophy, major schools of psychology, and the cross-cultural experience of the self in both collectivist and individualist cultures. With this grounding a diverse sample of eleven selves representing three genders are mapped and analyzed, grouped in the following clusters: 1) North American selves built through participation in sports; 2) selves centred on notions of North American aboriginality; 3) selves of individuals following a secular humanist paradigm; and 4) selves from China and Russia. Two methods of self-mapping are described. The results support a hypothesis that a healthy or functional self is composed of fundamental elements including constancy, volition, uniqueness, productivity, intimacy, and social interest. The application of this research and the method of self-mapping to counselling and psychotherapy are explored. A disciplinary paradigm is proposed uniting major schools of psychotherapy. This work will be of interest to philosophers, psychologists, social workers, sociologists, and all who have wondered how they come to define themselves in the ways that they do.

Why am I writing this book? It's a humble effort to reopen some human hearts and reverse the direction that we are following toward extinction. Rescue can only come through the efforts of each individual. We have relied on politicians, technology, corporations, charitable organizations, religious organizations, schools and other impersonal efforts. All have failed to reverse a course that drives us ever faster to extinction. Fundamental changes have to be made. They can only be made in the human heart. Yoga changed my heart and spun me in a different direction. I am only one person. You are only one person. To make the necessary changes seems impossible when made one person at a time. But I believe that it is the only means available to us. None of us individually knows how to fuel the kind of changes that must happen. And the organizations that have enough power the make great social change, lack the will. But there is a force that can arise from each human heart that knows how and has the power. It's up to each of us to release it.

Take a journey with Sue as she creates a deep awareness and a profound understanding of the nature of the ego. The ego serves a purpose in our lives until one day it doesn't. The challenge is when that day comes, the ego rejects the idea that it no longer serves a purpose and it highjacks our mind convincing us that we can't live without it. The ego is a clever shape-shifter and master of many disguises that are designed to manipulate us and keep us stuck in its programmed cycle of fear. Sue has been studying the ego for more than a decade. The insights she shares provides a road map and foresight for your journey allowing you to be a step ahead of your ego, equipped to navigate its antics and possible path of evolution. This book is designed to support you in unwinding your ego and all the ways it is embedding fear into your life. It is not about denying our humanness; it is about embracing our humanness and embodying our divinity all at the same time. It is about allowing us to be a full expression of our unique Self and to play the role we are meant to play in this life as we contribute to the healing and awakening of all of humanity.

Born to Choose is John H. Falk’s compelling account of why and how we make the endless set of choices we do, every second of every day of our lives. Synthesizing research from across the biological and social sciences, Falk argues that human choice-making is an evolutionarily ancient and complex process. He suggests that all our choices are influenced by very basic and early evolving needs, and that ultimately each choice is designed to support survival in the guise of perceived well-being. This engaging book breaks new intellectual ground and enhances our understanding not just of human choice-making but human behavior overall.
