THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF THE BOOK
"THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT" -
a book full of
new concepts, which the world has never heard before !
Success of a man's life depends on his appropriate
personality development. University First rank holders
very often prove to be utter failure in life, because they do not care for development
of personality. Some
times, they hold very low
Mind Power. According
to Mahatma Gandhi, true education is "total personality
development" (which
provides high Mind Power). In
fact, today students come out from schools, colleges and Universities 'with low Mind Power, nil
Mind Power or even Minus Mind Power'. After
completing their so called "education" they waste their future life without
even knowing what
personality or personality development is.
Knowing this
terrible shortcoming in the educational field, Mr.
Jacob Netttikkadan has
written a book "The Importance of
Personality Development" for
students to know what personality and personality development are and grow up with sufficient smartness, active habits, energy, enthusiasm and self confidence, to make their future life secure,
prosperous and happy. Right from the beginning, i.e. from the
year 1984, Mr. Nettikkadan has been imparting lessons on Personality
Development to his students to
remove their shyness, fear, nervousness, introversion and inferiority complex.
According to Mr. Jacob
Nettikkadan, 90%
to 95% of one's
personality development is achieved by the refinement,
enlargement, strengthening and right functioning of one's own mind. Only 5% to 10% depends of his physical look and appeal. So, the book "The
Importance of Personality Development"
teaches, for the
first time in the world, the details of functions and productivity
of mind, so
that students can have complete control over the personality development up to
95%.
A single tip in this book can be a remarkable turning point
in one's life, a path to progress, prosperity and Divinity.
The book contains a new discovery of the unknown MIND AND
ITS FUNCTIONS that affect the
total human life. It
promotes the idea : "Powerful minds design their own destiny !
Others become the victims, and blame destiny ! "
The author asserts, "Every human-made problem in this world
originates from the defect in the personality of one or the other person; in other words, due to lack of Personality
Development".
This book is a total solution to
rectify each defective individual, each broken family and the society, infested
with problems, as well as the whole world.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
COMMENTS
"Here is a book ... which should be read, reread and preserved
for eternity by every right minded human being" - Dr.
G.P.C. Nayar, Chairman, SCMS Group of
Educational Institutions, Cochin, India
in the Foreword to the book. Perhaps,
no other book has ever earned such a high acclaim !
Comment given by Mr. K. P. JOSEPH, former UN
Consultant and a renowned writer :
'Mind and Its Function' by Jacob Nettikkatt is an only- one- of –its- kind- book. It is not the type of tome that one meets
with, among books by Indian authors, but a breathtaking analysis of the happening
within us that we call mind , with
out which we are animals and not humans. I
congratulate Jacob Nettikkatt for putting in the enormous amount of mind labour that
produced this book . It
is a book of substance that every student of psychology and sociology should read. It is also a must read for
teachers and trainers in personality development .
Comment given by the Publishers :
"It is very easy to
make a gain of Rs.1,000 from this book, if you read
and understand the functions of mind and apply them in your life. But to make a gain of Rs.10,000,
you have to labour substantially.
However, only a genius can make a gain of Rs.1,00,000
from this book ".
Why ? because,
1. It depicts the most complicated and unknown
mind and its functions in the common-man's language and not in the psychologists' language.When a student grasps
what 'intellect' is, and what 'Understanding
Power', 'Thinking Power' and 'Imagination Power' are, and knows how they help to become a genius, a student's mental growth can be phenomenal.
2.
Similarly,
when a student grasps what excess or surplus 'emotion' is and what bad consequences can happen if
the quantum of emotion is too much and uncontrolled, he can have absolute
control over his own mind.
3. It also explains 'what common
sense is' which
is too uncommon nowadays. It
also describes 'what
wisdom is' and how to produce it : only by
using rationality and logic in our thinking
process. The book
defines clearly with examples 'what rationality and logic are' as well .
4.
The book
deals with definitions of good
human qualities that a person should develop to be considered a truly "educated
and cultured person or a gentleman".
5.
It also
deals with definitions of vices that
make human (shaped)
beings animals or devilish to cause pain, misery, agony, loss and discomfort
to others in the society, spoiling good relationship with them.
6.
The
prescription for 'measuring one's own personality and one's
own Mind Power' in the
book is certainly a million dollar valued invention, which many famous psychologists have tried
to achieve, but failed so far.
7.
It is
expected that these valuable teachings will create a good awareness and make a
great difference in the over all behaviour of people in the society to usher in a harmonious co-existence of all people.
8. The subdivision
"Spirituality" in this
book may make a total change in the outlook of people
towards religion and the concept of God, because the book teaches 'what
spirituality is and what its purpose is' which
has been replaced by rituals and customs for the benefit and advantage of the
promoters and administrators of religions, leaving behind only psychological satisfaction for the common people.
9. It teaches you how to 'discover God in love' and 'not love in God', paving the way to make innumerable "visible
gods" to love others without profit motive in this
world, making it spiritually rich. When
people follow this principle, they will arrive at a new concept of 'God' as the totality of virtues and 'devil' the totality of vices - may be by the year 2050, if true education
is promoted now itself.
10. Another added
attraction of the book is a new theory called "TLM theory" - which prescribes the qualities of Teacher, Leader and Manager to
become part of everybody's personality so that they can be successful
everywhere, always.
11. The
author
ascribes an
artificial shape to the shapeless, invisible and untouchable
mind and
describes the various functions of mind as Intellect
(divided into two
parts as Understanding Power and Thinking
Power), Imagination (divided
into four sub-divisions as Photo
library, Sound library, Creativity and Spirituality) and the role of
excess or surplus Emotion and its dangerous consequences which are responsible for all the human
created problems on this earth, including
religious fundamentalism and terrorism.
12. The book visualizes that when true education is available to all children
everywhere, people
will start thinking independently instead of utterly listening to others,
blindly believing and obeying them. Then a new concept of God
will emerge in the world (say, by the year 2050) when all the people
all over the world will be able to say in loud voice "our God" and worship Him together without any discrimination of caste, creed,
status, nationality and sex. Today
God is not common for all the people, because narrow-minded people have
captured and capitalized God by designing Him according to their own wish, whim
and belief and built up fences and walls around their compound to keep others
out, creating the situation for saying "my
God, your God, his God, their God" etc. That situation
should change for good.
13. The
lesson on "Ten routes to heaven", if
understood and assiduously followed by all the people, heaven
will be available to all to be enjoyed on this earth itself, without our waiting
to die. There will be no buyers to
purchase "the unwritten passport to the unknown heaven" offered by many
religions at present.
