Dr. Charles DesJardins

Dr. Charles DesJardins is the founder and president of the Center for Self-Actualization Studies.

The Center for Self-Actualization Studies is a research forum for scholarly research in Self-Actualization. The focus of the center is to integrate, accumulate, and synergize past, current, and future theories and models of self-actualization into applied self-actualization research that culminates in positive pragmatic social changes. The Center for Self-Actualization Studies operates from a social paradigm and exists to facilitate positive social changes for the betterment of all mankind. At the current state of research it promotes the use of the latest technologies of Meta-Coaching and Neuro-Semantics to raise the level of Self-Actualization in individuals and groups.

I am currently developing the Center for Self-Actualization Studies University. The University offers a personal development curriculum that brings the student understanding in the latest findings of quantum physics, neuroscience, biology, NLP, Neuro-Semantics, Self-Actualization Psychology, physiology, meditation, etc.

Most current university programs prepare the student for a career. The Bachelors degree, the masters degree, and even the Ph.D. prepare the student for career. Very few Universities have the strategic goal of personal development. It is the view of the Center for Self-Actualization Studies University that until a person is operating at their best performance, that is, peak performance, they will not be operating at their best in their careers, thus, there are limits to their bachelor, master, and Ph.D. learning’s. Thus, the Center of Self-Actualization Studies University offers a very theoretical as well as practical online university program - designed for the students LIFE, their personal development and Self-Actualization.

Self-Actualization Psychology follows the lead of Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and therefore it postulates that for full development the student needs a systems approach through this Hierarchy. This curriculum is both theoretical, scientific, informative, and pragmatic. The student, upon completion of the program, will have a thorough understanding of the major components of self-actualization and will experience personal, lifelong changes.

I am also the publisher and chief editor of the Jou al of Self-Actualization Psychology. The Jou al of Self Actualization Psychology is jou al that publishes articles and research results around the subject of self-actualization psychology.
