Power In Everyday Life: At Work and in Relationships

We need personal power to accomplish our goals and reach our potential. During this seminar we will explore the nature of the ego’s relationship to power; the distinctions between power and influence; the source of temptations connected with abuse of power in both work life and politics; the impact of powerlessness on the career; Jung’s famous contrast between power and love; and methods, both positive and negative, for increasing power. We will also note historical landmarks in the development of attitudes towards power in philosophy, religion and psychology.
