His work laid the foundation for many psychological theories and practices, emphasizing the importance of habits and mental discipline in personal development.

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite the common myth, you don't use just 10% of your brain. You use your whole brain.

The idea that you only use 10% of your brain is a myth. In reality, you use all parts of your brain. Brain scans show that even during simple tasks, many areas are active. Different regions handle functions like movement, speech, and thinking, so almost all parts of the brain are working all the time. For example, when you're talking, areas in your frontal lobe (for speech production) and temporal lobe (for understanding) are both active. This means your entire brain is important and used.

"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you can control your own destiny."
- Albert Ellis

Albert Ellis, a distinguished psychologist, is known for creating Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which focuses on helping individuals identify and change irrational beliefs. Ellis's approach has significantly influenced the field of psychology by promoting the idea that individuals can improve their emotional well-being and control their destiny through rational thinking and self-acceptance.

About 90% of brain developement takes place by age five

The brain play a vital role in our body because it is the organ in the head that controls the body’s functions, senses, emotions, thinking, and memory. It's important because it keeps us alive, helps us think and make decisions, and allows us to feel and remember. In psychology, the brain is significant because it is the foundation of all mental processes and behaviors. It influences emotions, thoughts, perceptions, and actions. Understanding the brain helps psychologists explain how people think, feel, and behave, and aids in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders. Studying the brain also reveals how experiences shape behavior and how biological factors impact psychological functions.

"I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail"

The quote illustrates the concept that our problem-solving methods can be constrained by the tools and perspectives we habitually use. Abraham Maslow, a distinguished psychologist, is celebrated for his development of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a foundational theory in psychology that organizes human needs into a pyramid, ranging from basic physiological needs to self-actualization. This theory has had a profound impact on understanding human motivation, personal development, and psychological well-being.
