This experience changed his life and, ultimately, led to this book, \u003cem\u003eThe Curiosity Drive: Our Need for Inquisitive Thinking\u003c\/em\u003e. Embedding the training into his working life, Stokoe came to recognise the crucial importance of curiosity to the development of the mind. Alongside love and hate, it is a primary drive inside each of us. Without the desire to ‘know’, human evolution would take a very different path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Stokoe outlines the work of Freud, Klein, and Bion to provide a firm foundation to his exploration of individual development and how it relates to groups and organisations. He lays bare why so many organisations are dysfunctional, takes an in- depth look at the problems unique to psychoanalytic institutions, and gives clear insight into how groups function as a separate entity to the individuals involved. He also investigates curiosity’s shadow side, detailing the ‘alternative’ processes needed when it becomes a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a truly excellent book for trainees, professionals, and anyone who has ever been frustrated by work!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karnac Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227480609112,"sku":"9781912691456","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781912691456_884a13e0-3c94-4eb0-a569-5ed16a0b89a8.jpg?v=1780389048","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/curiosity-drive","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
