Reviews

This is an inspiring read that conveys the vast potential for human development in a variety of situations, and by employing a multitude of techniques. -- Helen Henshaw, University of Nottingham, in The Psychologist 'This book provides a comprehensive and highly readable summary of the psychology of human potential. Readers will appreciate the excellent summaries of the theories and techniques that have been developed over the years. This book makes an important contribution to the science of positive psychology and is a must read for anyone with an interest in what works and doesn't work in the areas of human performance and potential.' - Philip J. Corr, Professor of Psychology, Swansea University, UK 'I did not have to get very far into this book before I realized that it offers a very different treatment of the subject of human potential. David Vernon has done an incredible amount of homework in terms of providing not just a review of the extant literature on the various topics, but also at providing the critical evaluations of these studies that are absolutely necessary for the reader to be informed about these techniques.' - Philip L. Ackerman, Professor of Psychology, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
