About the Book

A Theory of the Self is based on primary research which reveals that individuals define themselves through decisions that involve five groups of motives among which the most important involves being "themself, being happy and suiting their personality." Other categories are Economics, Following Norms, Self-respect, and Projecting and Image. The Self is a function which manages the internal process and the interface with the external world. The Self is superimposed on another function which is consciousness itself.
About the Author: Richard is a serial entrepreneur in the applied behavioral sciences. He was introduced to organizational behavior by members of the faculty of M.I.T who consulted to the firm in which he was Vice President of Administration. After several years of applied, on-the-job learning, he resigned and joined their Cambridge, MA. Consulting firm where he developed General Motors as a client. He then founded Baker & Co. with the assistance of David Kolb, Ph.D. of Case Western Reserve. Together they develop several very successful problem-solving applications based on Kolb's Experiential Based Learning research. Baker & Company grew as General Motors organizational needs expanded and it developed additional clients in automotive electronic systems. The company developed expertise in business to business customer satisfaction and was sold to J.D.Power and Associates in 1999.
