Originally published in 1987, the purpose of this companion volume
to Donald Ford's (1987) Humans as Self-Constructing Living Systems:
A Developmental Perspective on Personality and Behavior was to
illustrate the potential utility of the Living Systems Framework
(LSF) for stimulating new theoretical advances, for guiding
research on human behavior and development, and for facilitating
the work of the health and human service professions. Although not
exactly a "how to" manual, it does provide many concrete examples
of how and when the framework can be used to guide scholarly and
professional activities. It also provides a concise overview of the
framework itself that can help those who have read the theoretical
volume refresh their memory, and assist those who have not, in
understanding the basic concepts of the LSF and in deciding whether
and how the framework might be useful to them.

This book describes the essential nature of human motivation by
integrating the best ideas and evidence from motivational and
evolutionary science. In doing so, the authors explain how the
cultivation of goal-life alignment and 'thriving with social
purpose' motivational patterns can inspire optimal functioning and
enhance life meaning. Readers are provided with a comprehensive
framework for guiding research and intervention efforts along with
motivational principles designed to summarize the major themes in
effective efforts to motivate yourself and those you wish to help
or encourage. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of life
meaning in empowering our motivational systems and protecting us
from downward spirals of disappointment and suffering. Compelling
evidence is provided to support the view that social purpose is as
fundamental as self-interest in human motivational systems. The
authors also focus on the catalytic role of social purpose in
enabling humans to soar above all other species.
