Our conversation today revolved around human behavior as the most obvious pathway to understanding human nature. “What we do and don’t do is the bottom line on our human nature.”  This makes me think of Behavioral Psychology as pivotal in understanding our basic nature. We are looking for a subject matter expert in that area to add more depth of knowledge in the analysis of human behavior.

The analysis of human behavior can be engaged on an individual or group basis and studied over time.  This study could yield a list of common behaviors which could be grouped as constructive or destructive. Becoming aware of which of our behaviors is adding quality to our lives and which ones need to be eliminated or conditioned could be an important way of improving our lives and our society,
