Personal Synthesis Introduction
Personal Synthesis is a handy ‘one-stop-shop’ that brings together all the areas that play a vital role in our everyday lives, from self-awareness to intimate relationships. The materials are the result of twenty years of research and evolved through the experience of running numerous personal development programmes with young people, university students and diverse groups of adults.
What is DIY psychology?
How to be more in charge of your emotions, how to think and make decisions well, motivate yourself, communicate effectively, relate to others… you will find here these and many other important things that we never learn about in schools. Wherever you are and whoever you are all 64 subjects that we cover are relevant to your life.
Does Personal Synthesis require prior knowledge of psychology?
I’m often asked about this. How much prior knowledge of psychology does Personal Synthesis require for you to fully use all the benefits and tools of it. In this short video I’m answering this question.
Personal Synthesis – who is it for?
