Patrick
J Ryan, who recently retired from Tompkins-Cortland Community
College (T-C3), has developed a new Home-Study Personal
Growth Course. Ryan worked at T-C3 for 32 years as a
Director Of Counseling and a Professor of Psychology. He
taught the Psychology of Personal Growth course at the
college for years, and was also a sought-after speaker and
seminar leader in the same field.
"In the
past there have been a few interesting stories
written about personal growth. The problem with these is
that, while they usually have an inspirational message, they
are often weak on how to put that message into practice. On
the other hand, there have been countless self-help
books written. These usually have tons of 'how
to' material, but are sometimes deadly boring to read"
says Ryan.
