{"product_id":"9780141985336","title":"The Right Life : Human Individuality and Its Role in Our Development, Health and Happiness by Remo H. Largo","description":"How do we find the life that's right for each of us?More  and more of us are feeling overwhelmed by the everyday struggle to lead  the lives to which we aspire. Children are placed under unbearable  pressure to achieve; adults fight a constant battle to balance family  life with work and economic demands; old people suffer from social  isolation and a lack of emotional security. People of every age are  feeling increasingly at odds with the world, and less able to live a  life that corresponds to their individual needs and talents.   At  the root of this problem, argues internationally renowned child  development expert Remo Largo, is a mistaken idea of what makes us  human.   A distillation of forty years of research and medical experience, The Right Life  sets out a new theory of human thriving. Tracing our development as  individuals from the beginnings of evolution to the twenty-first  century, he sets out his own theory, the 'Fit Principle', which proposes  that every human strives to live in harmony with their fellow humans  and their environment. Rather than a ceaseless quest for  self-improvement and growth, he argues, our collective goals should be  individual self-acceptance, as we embrace the unique matrix of skills,  needs and limitations that makes each of us who we are.   Not  only, Largo suggests, can a true understanding of human thriving help  people find their way back to their individuality; it can help us to  reshape society and economy in order to live as fully as possible.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56224991314293,"sku":"9780141985336","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780141985336.jpg?v=1762227853","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780141985336","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
