Unlocking Potential: Transformative Learning with Dr. Daniel S. Janik
The thing that makes us uniquely human is what is spiritual. For example, if you think about it, having a boyfriend or a girlfriend or a mate is an extremely dangerous thing.
Imagine if learning could do more than just fill your head with facts. What if it could change your life in a meaningful way? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Dr. Daniel S. Janik, a retired physician and educator, to explore the fascinating concept of transformative learning. Dr. Janik, who has authored over 80 publications, shares his insights into the neurobiological systems behind both traumatic and transformative learning.
He argues that while traumatic learning can leave lasting scars, transformative learning has the power to heal and bring profound meaning to our experiences. Dr. Janik delves into his book, 'Unlock The Genius Within: Neurobiological Trauma, Teaching And Transformative Learning', where he presents the idea that we have at least two distinct learning pathways. Through engaging anecdotes and scientific explanations, he illustrates how understanding these pathways can lead to personal growth and emotional healing.
