Self Transcendence: thought exercises for creating a purpose driven life.

You're about to begin an epic journey. 
 
This workbook contains 40+ pages to help you explore who you are, develop a unique purpose, commit to consistent personal development, and ultimately have a greater positive impact on the world around you.
 
Developing an altruistic purpose that is aligned with our values and beliefs has immense psychological benefits including greater positive emotion; increased resilience and a reduction in generalised anxiety; increased motivation, drive and focus; and ultimately a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in life.
 
This workbook has been inspired and shaped by the work of many great psychologists and behavioural scientists namely, Dr. Jordan Peterson,  Dr. Andrew Huberman, James Clear, Charles Duhigg and Robert Greene. Most notably is the influence of Scott Barry Kaufman. The philosophy of Self-Transcendence that this workbook is centred upon is grounded in SBK’s work that extends and clarifies Abraham Maslow’s original theory of humanistic psychology. Self-Transendence is the highest peak of psychological development that we can hope to acheive. It is a state acheived when we go beyond Self-Actualisation and direct our efforts toward an altruistic purpose, ultimately our own goals become completely aligned with creating progress for broader humanity.
 
Research on Self-Transendence proves that people deliberately seek self knowledge and craft a clear, purpose driven direction for their life achieve greater life satisfaction and more frequently encounter moments of “peak experience”. This workbook helps us turn theory into practice and ensures we commit our time, energy and life toward meaningful pursuits.
 
All you need is your mind, a smart device and an environment in which you can clear your head and think deeply. The questions in this workbook are intuitive and each question builds on the next, simply write under each section until you feel satisfied that it's thoroughly explored.
 
Once you have completed writing we encourage you to connect with a friend and have a meaningful conversation about your answers, this will help extend your thinking and bring your ideas to life.
