What if we were able to improve our social and psychological messaging in classrooms and in learning situations everywhere? What kind of effect could it have on our nation and the world?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the instant we first draw breath to the moment when we take our last, humans instinctively use transactional analysis (TA) to get what we need to survive. The overwhelmingly important factor, frequently overlooked in this process, is our environment's influence, often negative, on these transactions. At the same time, many of the socioeconomic and political problems we face today, including resource depletion, dysfunctional systems, global warming, and money and banking crises share a root cause-humans discounting relevant phenomena, problems, opportunities, alternatives for change, and ability to change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRichard John Stapleton, PhD, asserts these problems are not caused by humans making mistakes exercising free will, but instead are caused by natural cause-effect chains determining human feelings, thoughts, and decisions and physical environments, and therefore humans are not to blame or praise. On the other hand, by cooperating with each other and by focusing on the real causes of problems, rather than focusing on fixed ideologies, dogma, and doctrine, hopefully we can cause positive changes and generate real solutions for the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBorn to Learn: A Transactional Analysis of Human Learning\u003c\/i\u003eaims to give readers a more comprehensive understanding of how our lives are shaped and controlled by both social and psychological messaging as well as offering tools to pursue a better future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard John Stapleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692584331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692584330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Effective Learning Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2016","brand":"Richard John Stapleton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46401247740159,"sku":"9780692584330","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85cd8ba8-9a9d-44de-8d65-ac2bb09c71f7.jpg?v=1733887162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/born-to-learn-richard-john-stapleton-9780692584330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
