Robert Spencer Knotts

Robert Spencer Knotts is the author of 25 published books, many for young readers and written under the name Bob Knotts or a pseudonym. His newest book is "Beyond Me: Dissecting Ego To Find The Innate Love At Humanity's Core (A New Psychology As Philosophy). This book explores in great psychological detail our human tendency toward self-doubt, self-criticism and self-sabotage. And it demonstrates convincingly that this nearly universal problem is learned, directly resulting from the many significant but irrational self-images that individuals attempt to validate through outside appreciation by others. He also has written five plays, numerous poems, fables, blogs, lyrics and other literary works. In addition, Knotts is a lifelong musician who has composed more than 100 compositions including “A Symphony of Some Humanity - Symphony #1 for Strings and Choir” and “All, In Joyful Song - A Carol In Three Movements.” In 2005, he founded the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Humanity Project, and still serves as the group’s president and primary program creator. Based in South Florida, the Humanity Project teaches respect for the unconditional equal value of every human being. www.thehumanityproject.com ...
