P for Psychology

Everything begins with yourself - especially your personal development.

Most of us strive for happiness, and like everything else we master, happiness becomes easier when you know exactly what to do. We need to acquire the right psychological tools and competencies that set us free and enable us to formulate our dreams, visions, and, most importantly, transform them into actions and our desired reality.

When faced with challenges, unexpected outcomes, or an unsatisfying environment, we need to ask ourselves: ‘What can I do?’ ‘What is my role in this situation?’ ‘How can I contribute?’ We can’t rely on other people or politicians to solve our personal or common problems, including climate breakdown, sustainability, and health issues. We must take responsibility for ourselves, which requires specific skills. Unfortunately, many of us lack these skills, which we may not have acquired through our upbringing.

In this section of SHAPE Your Future Life, you will find a presentation of the book universe that addresses shaping our own future. Many of us are inspired by simple and adventurous illustrations that tackle challenges formed early in our lives. Below, you will find easily digestible learning materials and exercises that help you develop your psychological skills. The books in the Create a Better World series and the accompanying illustrations may appear simple and perhaps even childish, but they are built upon extensive knowledge that has been proven to have the potential to transform the lives of open-minded individuals.

The Create a Better World series consists of reference books that assist you on your journey in shaping your future. We suggest that you read and work with them in the following order: Book 1, 5, 6, 2, 3. Book 4 is especially beneficial for individuals looking to enhance their professional communication skills.

If you invest time and approach your personal development with the right amount of interest, reflection, and honesty, you will reclaim yourself. This means you will return to who you were originally meant to be before your talents and potential were influenced by your relationships and surroundings. The articles and chapters in Book 7 – Reclaim Yourself – will gradually be presented here as Per writes them.
