Never before have the pressures of a comparative and competitive world impacted on our sense of wellbeing, particularly among young adults. Building on the principles of Giving Voice to Values, which honors the complexity and difficulty of leading with our values, this book addresses the unique challenges faced by young adults. It provides a clear process that details how to harness natural wisdom to flourish through the relentless pace and pressure of today\'s world. Moving beyond mere values clarification, Authentic Excellence helps the reader develop a deeper relationship with their values and confidently express them, and builds effective coping skills to manage the relentless noise of our comparative and competitive world. Authentic Excellence answers five primary questions:How are young adults affected by this world of relentless change and pressure?Why are young adults vulnerable to a plateau that can negatively affect their resilience?What is the difference between fear-based excellence and authentic excellence and what role do values play in this distinction?What is necessary to move beyond fear-based excellence and why is it so hard?How do you train a deeper level of effectiveness that includes more consistent productivity, fulfillment and resilience? Cultural Evolution argues that people\'s values and behavior are shaped by the degree to which survival is secure it was precarious for most of history, which encouraged heavy emphasis on group solidarity, rejection of outsiders, and obedience to strong leaders. For under extreme scarcity, xenophobia is realistic: if there is just enough land to support one tribe and another tribe tries to claim it, survival may literally be a choice between Us and Them. Conversely, high levels of existential security encourage openness to change, diversity, and new ideas. The unprecedented prosperity and security of the postwar era brought cultural change, the environmentalist movement, and the spread of democracy. But in recent decades, diminishing job security and rising inequality have led to an authoritarian reaction. Evidence from more than 100 countries demonstrates that people\'s motivations and behavior reflect the extent to which they take survival for granted - and that modernization changes them in roughly predictable ways. This book explains the rise of environmentalist parties, gender equality, and same-sex marriage through a new, empirically-tested version of modernization theory. ARE YOU A CULTURAL CREATIVE?Do you dislike all the emphasis in modern culture on success and “making it,” on getting and spending, on wealth and luxury goods?Do you care deeply about the destruction of the environment and would pay higher taxes or prices to clean it up and to stop global warming?Are you unhappy with both the left and the right in politics and want to find a new way that does not simply steer a middle course?In this landmark book, sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson draw upon thirteen years of survey research studies on more than 100,000 Americans. They reveal who the Cultural Creatives are and the fascinating story of their emergence over the last generation, using vivid examples and engaging personal stories to describe their distinctive values and lifestyles. The Cultural Creatives offers a more hopeful future and prepares us all for a transition to a new, saner, and wiser culture.
