| Summary: | This book explores various aspects of human motivation, decision-making, and self-understanding through interdisciplinary research. It addresses topics such as pragmatic prospection, which focuses on how people plan for future actions more than past reflections, with implications for goal attainment and emotional anticipation. The book also examines the quest for self-knowledge, the ecology of meaning in human life, growth goals in educational contexts, and school belonging among marginalized groups. It concludes by discussing the boundaries of rationality in decision-making models. The intended audience includes academics, practitioners, and students interested in psychology, education, and social sciences. |
