Introducing GLEO: SandyG ’s Positive Tetrad
Most of you would be familiar with Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Triad also known as the Negative Triad. To recap, a depressed person is characterized by negative views about the self, negative views about the world and negative views about the future.
Guilt, shame, worthlessness, not accepting the self are all aspects of negative views about the self, which I conveniently relabel as self-loathing. It can even be conceived that these self concepts are closer to a neurotic belief system.
Similarly, being pessimistic and having a sense of hopelessness, is what can be thought of as having negative views about the f...

How Do I Matter to Thee, Let Me Count The Ways!
I recently came across an article by Andrew Reece, Martin Seligman, Roy Baumeister, Barry Schwartz et al on Mattering which argued that in work/organizational contexts, action-based mattering is the way to go and it is more associated with feelings of self-efficacy rather than self-esteem. That made me look up the sparse literature on Mattering and I spent a few happy hours down that rabbit hole.
What I am proposing below, however, is my own classification of how someone can matter, after taking into account existing concepts and frameworks.
Why is mattering important? Unless we have a sense that we matter, we may n...

Extending Ikigai: The 6P framework
Most people are familiar with the Japanese concept of Ikigai or what makes you jump out of your bed in the morning and enables you to look forward with joy to the work activities of the day.

Self at the Intersection of Drives and Norms
Self is the apparently unified entity that has conscious awareness of one’s actions and experiences- it is both an agent who is acting in the world willfully and an entity that is absorbing experiences passively.
By some accounts self is socially constructed- it is to be found in the web of [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

The Algorithm of The Brain
I know that the computer metaphor does not do justice to the brain, but can we conceivably come up with a universal algorithm in how the brain processes stimuli and reacts/responds to them? Further, can we then tie up those algorithmic sub-modules to actual neural subsystems/structures and [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

Parenting Styles: an SDT Informed Perspective
In my previous posts I have elaborated on SDT and how it provides insights as to the relation between motivation and personality and to the supportive contexts that satisfy basic needs and thus lead to well-being.
To recap, SDT, as extended by me, posits that there are four basic [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

Supportive Contexts for Growth and Development: an SDT Perspective
Self Determination Theory(SDT) posits that all humans require some nutriments to grow and develop; just like plants need nutriments like sunlight, water, nutrients etc to flourish, so do humans have some basic human needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness and meaningfulness (my addition) to [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

The Four Educative Drives
I have recently come across the blog and work of Peter Gray, and am finding it very useful to see things from his perspective– which at times is very much aligned with my own.

4 Life Goals, 4 Selves
I have blogged previously about the 4 major goals of life: Happiness (H), Success (S), Meaning (M) and Morality/Virtue (V). Each goal is important in itself and a healthy human being constantly balances all four goals for optimal outcome.

The Evolution of Cooperation: Thankfulness and Inspiration as Two Routes
Cooperation or Altruism or Prosociality is the tendency to help others, even at a cost to oneself. Naive conceptions of evolution, make us think that cooperation or altruism cannot evolve because the genes are selfish and only care about perpetuating themselves. However, the selfish gene view of [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)
