4.0 out of 5 stars More than a dictionary - it also sorts facts from fads, 29 Aug 2004

By	Roger Greenaway - See all my reviews

This dictionary provides instant access to the collective wisdom of the Human Potential Research Group at the University of Surrey and draws on concepts used in their Change Agent Skills and Strategies MSc course. Their values are holistic and humanistic and reflect the views of their Founder, John Heron.

It is more than a dictionary. It is usually clear about which concepts are well substantiated and which are not. For example, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is put in its place (speculative); they pour cold water on Firewalking (mistaking momentary euphoria for lasting confidence); and they describe left-brain/right-brain distinctions as lacking scientific truth but nonetheless providing a useful metaphor.

The absence of diagrams is a serious handicap such as when trying to describe the resizeable panes of a Johari Window or the relationships between job size and capability in a Flow Channel or the appearance of a Mind Map. Only a few extra pages would be needed to allow you to search this dictionary by author as well as by concept. Despite these frustrations it is still excellent value as an authoratitive timesaver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Overview of the History of Personal Development, 20 Aug 2005

By	Stewart Desson (Wokingham, Berks, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I find this book very practical and insightful. It definitely "does what it says on the tin" i.e. it is a dictionary of all the key terms in personal development, with their historical context and roots explained. I dip into it on a regular basis as I read and research different approaches to my own personal development and my organisational change practice. It has given me the 'helicopter view' of this eclectic industry and I recommend it to anybody that wants or needs that view. Stewart Desson
