The Dark Side of ExcellencewithJohn R. O’Neil

Books Mentioned In This Interview

This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1989. 

Motivational training techniques often focus mindlessly on “positive thinking”, glossing over the need for people to engage in soul-search­ing and self-renewal. John O’Neil, past-president of the Califor­nia School of Professional Psychology, discusses the unfor­tunate trend to treat “success” as an all-con­suming end in itself, without regard to the consequences of this attitude. O’Neil is author of The Paradox of Success.
