The reason that leads us to the best
In my book, 'Excelling in Freedom | A Recipe for Personal Development', Plato, Socrates, Hartman and evolution show us the way to grow. Stories about the development of six famous people introduce you to six values and thinking styles that are important for every human being to make personal development possible. In Chapter 2, Charles Darwin introduces us to the value and thinking style: the reason that leads us to the best and Self-direction.
The acquired opinion which aspires after the best
In my book Excelling in Freedom, I give my vision of personal development. All chapters begin with a storie of the development of a well-known person. In Chapter 3 - What Steps Will I Take? it is the turn of Quejana, better known as the ingenious nobleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. A story about zeal, honor, courage and extrinsic motivation. The example when it comes to having a strong Role Awareness.
The innate desire for pleasure
Everyone has an innate desire for pleasure. Everyone is unique. And everyone is intrinsically motivated. In order to clarify this, I’d like to tell you to the story of how Elvis was discovered. Based on that story, I’m going to show the connection between the belly, the unruly horse, the intrinsic or moral Self, and Sense of Self.

Awareness model
The awareness model is a simple model to explain how I look at a person in relation to personal development.
Hartman’s Values
By measuring how a person values the world around them and themselves, Hartman distinguishes six values. The degree to which these six dimensions are developed yield thinking patterns or thinking styles. Below, these six thinking dimensions are described*.
Spranger’s motives
Eduard Spranger is a Swiss behavioral scientist who lived from 1882 to 1963. In 1928 he published his book Types of Men. In it he classified six personality types. A personality type tells us what kind of attitude a person has toward the world.
MARSTON’S STYLES OF BEHAVIOUR
A person's behavioral style is what you see when you communicate and work with him or her. It reflects the way of doing things. Caution is advised; it is like an iceberg. You only see what is on top of the water.
