ABSTRACT

The art is to exploit the inner physiological drives in such a way that it sustains a healthy self and motivates sound actions. The other major element in reference to the economy of the mind is the super-ego, which gets created as a collection of influences from the environment. A central view of Kristjan Kristjansson is that the self can be viewed as a combination of the “emotional” and the “real”. The emotional side is central to the creation and sustenance of the self and can be multi-faceted and extend well beyond the realms of the conscious. In discussing the “self” and what it comprises, many of the ideas and concepts relating to the architecture and functioning of the mind have remained largely intact since first being proposed by Sigmund Freud in the period between 1895 and 1926. The individual self is the core unit of all teams, organisations, and societies.
