De ce e important un scop in viata

by Victor J. Strecher

Gaseste-ti scopul pentru a-ti imbunatati sanatatea, fericirea si calitatea vietii. Imagineaza-ti ca ar exista un medicament care s-a demonstrat ca iti poate prelungi viata cu cativa ani, diminueaza riscul de Alzheimer, te ajuta sa dormi mai bine noaptea si iti repara ADN -ul. Compania farmaceutica producatoare ar ajunge sa valoreze miliarde. Inventatorii ar castiga Premiul Nobel si ar exista institute care le-ar purta numele. Dar nu este vorba de un medicament. Este scopul. Si este gratis. Victor Strecher, cercetator premiat in domeniul stiintelor comportamentale, a intreprins un studiu complet, de la filosofia antica la stiinta revolutionara, pentru a stabili cu precizie potentialul si impactul scopului in viata noastra. Ce este scopul? Cum il putem descoperi? Ce spun ultimele cercetari despre importanta modului in care ne influenteaza acesta viata? Cartea contine un program pe etape pentru imbunatatirea energiei, vointei, sanatatii si fericirii pe termen lung. Lectura obligatorie pentru cei interesati de dezvoltarea personala si leadership, va schimba fundamental felul in care fiecare dintre noi intelege ce inseamna sa duci o viata buna.
