Third Force Psychology focuses on the humanistic side of psychology. This approach deals with self-determination and free will. In North America free will is a very strong a prevalent topic, one that has been positively present in our culture. Third Force Psychology is actually being used in the classroom in order to change the current state of the children’s belief system. Beyond that is it being used as well for sensitivity training. It is all about changing the current mindset into something better; something more productive. With third force psychology this is possible. Another aspect that this effects is conflict resolution. With these being implemented in the school, children have a chance to receive a better education while still in public schools.

Avia,
I can see how you would interpret the good life to be one of unending knowledge and financial stability, but is that really how you personally view this, or is it more how you believe society views the good life to be. Having stability is never a bad thing, but if that is the sole focus of your good life, then is that really a good life? It is in uncertainty that many people discover who they are, who they want to be, and who they trust.

Josh,
I agree, what someone values will ultimately define and shape their view on what “The Good Life” is. Finding joy in everything, can seem a daunting task, but if you come to a place in your life where that is achievable, then yes, that really would be a “good life”. Happiness is crucial, I agree, but it is what we find happiness in that I believe is the most important aspect of “The Good Life”.
