Where would be an effective place to start? In 2015, the United Nations adopted a set of Sustainable Development Goals as a call to action to achieve peace and prosperity for all. These goals include good health, well-being, quality education and gender equality.
However, what is needed to achieve all these? We need human development. As you read through this book, you will come to realize that many societal problems have their roots in human development. Scientific findings have shown that individuals can be set on a debilitating life path even before birth.
Scientists recognized the importance of human development and put in more than a century of research to understand how humans grow, thrive or form negative outcomes. In the span of this book, more than a thousand science papers were read so that you do not have to. As a result, we may now have the closest thing to answering the age-old questions: How can we do better?
Why do people behave the way they do? ------------------------------------------------------- In this inquisitive dive into the science of human development, you will become knowledgeable in answering the following questions: 1. Is intelligence changeable?

3. How is moral behavior developed?
4. How does moral disengagement work?
5. What risk factors accumulate for adverse life-trajectories?
6. What is a relationship style conducive to well-being?
7. What Increases the Risks of Poor Mental Health?
8. Self-Esteem or Narcissism? Where is the line drawn?
