| Popis: | The growing body of literature on transformational change reflects an increasing interest among professionals in understanding epiphany and visionary change. However, we typically assume that such quantum changes are positive and pro-social ones. It is equally possible for an individual to lead a life that is organized around a motivating vision that is destructive to self, others, or both. The author examines the phenomenon of "dark visions," offering some hypotheses as to their origins. The article also offers strategies to minimize the number of individuals who choose dark visions, with all their unfortunate consequences. |
