Product Information

What gives meaning to life? Of all the goals that people strive for, which ones really matter? This volume makes a powerful case for the inclusion of ultimate concerns-- spiritual and religious themes in personal strivings-- in any attempt to build a motivational theory of personality. The book first reviews the growing body of empirical and clinical literature on goal seeking and its relationship to subjective well-being, life satisfaction, and personality description. Emmons then sets forth an innovative framework for the assessment and measurement of ultimate concerns. Topics covered include implications of spiritual strivings for mental health and treatment, conflicts between different kinds of goals, ways that ultimate concerns can foster personality integration, goal processes in stress and coping, and the concept of spiritual intelligence. Sample assessment materials are shown in the Appendix, illuminating the author's research methodology.

A valuable resource....Will be appreciated by those who need more than intuitive or anecdotal evidence for the impact that religion/spirituality have on humankind's personality integration and well-being. It also provides an excellent model for doing empirical research. Students and scholars alike will benefit from following Emmons' blueprint. Finally, both clinicians and researchers will benefit from the author's recognition that religious/spiritual world views are central to the theory of human motivation., Emmons has done a great service to psychology with this book....He has connected two previously unconnected lines of thought in a heuristic and highly compelling manner. The organization of the book is flawless and the writing is lucid....We have no doubt that the book will be, to use a spiritual term, 'inspiring' to many researchers., "Emmons has done a great service to psychology with this book....He has connected two previously unconnected lines of thought in a heuristic and highly compelling manner.

Highly recommended for upper-level undergraduates, gradua, "Robert Emmons has written a splendid book that revives motivational theory in a most constructive way, highlighting the centrality of developmental issues. We now have a book that moves spiritual striving into the mainstream of psychological theory and research. It also provides an excellent review of the goals and strivings literature and shows us, empirically, that ultimate striving can be uniquely effective in the achievement of integration of the adult personality. Refreshingly, the author makes it clear that value judgments are compatible with science. In his final chapter, Emmons introduces the concept of spiritual intelligence as a means of accounting for ability in the domain of goal choice. This is an important contribution to the discussion of human abilities and developmental goals. This book will be of wide interest to psychologists and other readers. It will serve as a text in courses on human motivation, personality, health psychology, adult development, and the psychology of religion. Emmons has provided a very important resource for anyone interested in religious practice, health and well-being, and adult development." --Michael R. Levenson, PhD, Department of Human and Community Development, University of California, Davis "This is one of the finest examples of integrative scholarship that I have seen. Emmons, among the world's most distinguished personality researchers, has produced a masterful blend of the best research on personal goals and current concerns, life meaning, subjective well-being, and personality fragmentation and integration. Showing how motivation and spirituality come together in the person, the book presents a compelling argument for the concept of spiritual intelligence as a basic psychological function. Emmons clearly loves his material. Written with a high level of sophistication, the book is nonetheless extremely accessible. It is essential reading for serious scholars in the fields of personality research, intelligence, and the psychology of religion. In addition, I recommend it as a text for personality and psychology of religion courses, and any other in which an integrated look at the whole person is taken seriously." --Raymond F. Paloutzian, PhD, Department of Psychology, Westmont College "In this book, Robert Emmons provides a sound, humane, and empirically grounded framework for integrating spirituality with the psychology of motivation, well-being, and health.The Psychology of Ultimate Concernis beautifully written, packed with research (much of which comes from Emmons' own laboratory), and replete with helpful case material. This book should be read by all psychologists with a scientific interest in the spiritual side of human functioning. I will be recommending this one to colleagues in social, personality, clinical, and health psychology for years to come." --Michael E.
