GLOBAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, Inc.
For almost 35 years Global Human Development, Inc. – GHD, Inc. – was known as The Human Development Company. It was, and still is an ALL-VOLUNTEER non-profit, 501(c)3 educational, research organization. That is going to change in the near future.
The focus of THDC/GHD, Inc. was and is, to study how both The Continuum Theory of Human Development, and The Theory of Love that sprung from it, affect the mental, emotional, and physical health of individuals, families, groups, and organizations when applied to their everyday lives and relationships. The results have been more than encouraging!
Many are looking for worthwhile personal development goals as the ultimate answer to happiness and health!
Many will go and purchase the latest books, listen to podcasts hoping they work.
And we did not forget about Respect, Support, Generosity, Affection, and many others.
Unconditionality™ – Living and Loving, Self and Others Unconditionally –
is the foundation that makes all other worthwhile behaviors achievable.
WHY???
Without love we are like hungry children having a hard time learning. Which is why we feed them before or at school. For adults to achieve the tranformative behaviors they aspire to, no matter how important they seem, without having nourishing self-love, human beings will lack the energy and capacity to succeed.
The Theory of Love states that “Love is Nourishment like Air, Food, and Water.” Humans are taught to be self-sufficient with air, food, and water. Therefore, they must be taught to become self-sufficient with Love – otherwise they lack one of the most essential nourishment needed to energize their efforts and attempts at personal growth, relationships, and reaching personal, health and career goals. Love from others is wonderful, but as we learn early in life, we can't count on it always - so we need to learn to count on ourselves.
