Program Description 

In this course, you will find a variety of tools, topics, theories, concepts, and laws to help you maximize personal development. Each individual subject covered can work autonomously or function interdependently to build upon one another. We will cover psychology, sociology and philosophy and demonstrate how these mutually inclusive areas of knowledge can be exponentially advantageous in helping us understanding ourselves, societal conditions, and impact on an individual's personal development. 

The content and subsequent discussions are designed as an academic approach to personal development. Thus, in this context, there is no association with nor adherence to popular methods of life coaching, mentoring, or motivational-type activities. Instead the focus is on critical, outside of the box thinking by discerning the underlying factors that drive, motivate, and cause an individual to lean towards self-enhancement. 

This unique and comprehensive approach to personal development goes beyond the improvement of oneself and exposing the participant to a variety of theoretical constructs, psychological concepts, philosophical principles, and sociological theories that govern society, thereby providing the foundation for professional, social, and individual growth, understanding and development. 

The overall aim of this instructor-led and self-guided tutorial guide to critical thinking is to enable the reader to arm themselves with the underlying foundation essential to building a sustainable success strategy for personalized individual growth and personal achievement.
