In this special lecture for the how to: Academy, University of California Los Angeles Professor Diamond will examine how our knowledge of human nature through responses to personal crises may be used to understand the outcomes of national and global crises. Nations experience crises, whose solution requires adopting selective changes, and which some nations are more successful at solving than are other nations. We as individuals also experience personal crises, either associated with certain ages (e.g., teen-age or midlife crises) or else triggered by external shocks (e.g., relationship problems or break-ups, the death of a loved one, or a health or job or financial blow). The solution of a personal crisis also requires adopting selective changes, which some of us are more successful at accomplishing than are others of us. EFTA01182296 Gr Counsellors and therapists have identified many factors that make it more or less likely that an individual will overcome a personal crisis. Through a comparative survey of personal crises, seven recent national crises, two impending national crises, and the impending world crisis, Jared Diamond offers a new way to consider the politics, society, and psychology of crises.
