Dr. Murari Prasad Regmi is Asia's foremost cross-cultural Personality Psychologist, a genius Astrologer and an established literary critic.
The Himalayan Mind is a significant attempt to comprehend mystery of the Himalayan psyche. Authored by renowned psychologists from Asia and Australia, the book contains illuminating studies on learning and self esteem of the Himalayan people. "Self esteem" and "Learning," Dr. Regmi believes, have merged in the recent years to provide a rich detail of learning process and conception. The book begins with the history of psychological researches in Nepal and turns to contemporary researches on learning. Employing various tools and techniques, the authors present a fascinating account of the Nepalese people which includes a cross cultural assessment of self esteem, a study of approach to learning to Nepalese tertiary students, family drawing of Nepalese children, selfworth of urban and Nepalese children and question of Asian Learner as a Rote Learner stereotype: myth and reality. The book is a valuable must to psychologist, sociologists, anthropologists, teachers, educationalists and other scholars interested in knowing the hidden pages of the Nepalese mind.
This book is a 'readings' in the psychological researches in Nepal. It contains the researches of nearly ten years. Our objective is to provide the reader with the ways of studying 'learning process' and 'self-esteem'. These two aspects are at the centre of the book. The research on learning has changed totally after the efforts of Prof. Ference Marton, Dept. of Education, Gothenburg University, Sweden, and his colleagues.
