Positive Psychology, Evolution and Morality
Created By: Byrne, Jim On Thu, Jan 07, 2010 08:36 AM
Hi,
I have just finished watching the 5 part video presentation by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on Positive Psychology and Evolution.  I found this quite inspiring, even though previous viewers had not rated it highly.  I think his perspective helps to show us our historical mission as members of the human race, with responsibility for where we are; potential to create where we are going to; and a call to act more morally responsibly in our own and our society's evolution.  I think we are at a point in history where the old traditions of the major religions need to be absorbed into secural, human science, and to take the world back from the brink of final disaster into a sustainable, necessarily moral world, in which the potential of every citizen will count for as much as the most privileged citizen.  A world in which we create happiness for ourselves and each other, by thinking socially instead of competitively and egotistically.

Food for thought?  Yes!

Best wishes,
Jim
