  • Comment: This submission does not appear to be even close to mainspace-ready. This article is a promotion for the book, and even the first sentance, claiming the book to be "influential." Also, the fact it is considered to be a "term," leads me to additionally decline it due to the WP:NOTDICTIONARY policy. OnlyNanotalk 22:25, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

PhiloHuman Mindset

[edit]

Definition

[edit]

PhiloHuman is a term defined by Dr. Rojin Karickal in his influential book Let Me Be Vulnerable: The PhiloHuman Way [1]. The term PhiloHuman encapsulates an individual who lives authentically, supports others in their authenticity through empathy, values humanity above divisive systems, and utilizes services to empower authenticity, empathy, and humanity within themselves and others. Dr. Karickal further expounded on this concept in his subsequent book, Transform Your Life With The PhiloHuman Mindset [2].

PhiloHumans are people who embody and live according to the principles of the PhiloHuman mindset.

Origin and Development

[edit]

The term PhiloHuman is derived from the Greek word "philo," meaning lover or friend, combined with "human," signifying a deep affection for humanity. Dr. Rojin Karickal coined this term during a profound period of self-reflection and discovery, detailed in Let Me Be Vulnerable: The PhiloHuman Way [3], and expanded upon these ideas in Transform Your Life With The PhiloHuman Mindset [4]. These works advocate for a renewed consciousness that prioritizes authenticity, empathy, humanity, and service.

Core Principles of the PhiloHuman Mindset

[edit]

The PhiloHuman mindset is built on four fundamental layers, each interdependent and vital for the flourishing of an individual's human potential:

1. Authenticity: At the core of the PhiloHuman mindset is authenticity. It involves living a life true to one's values, passions, and innate strengths. Authenticity is seen as being true to oneself and rejecting societal pressures that push individuals to conform to external expectations.

2. Empathy: Surrounding authenticity is empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This principle encourages deep, empathetic connections that foster mutual understanding and support for authenticity.

3. Humanity: The humanity layer emphasizes the interconnectedness of all people. It promotes the celebration of shared human experiences and the common dignity inherent in every individual, transcending divisive ideologies and societal barriers.

4. Service: The outermost layer is service, which ensures the provision and reception of support that empowers authenticity, empathy, and humanity. PhiloHumans view their contributions to society as acts of service that prioritize uplifting others while maintaining one’s personal integrity and autonomy.

Applications in Real Life

[edit]

The practical application of the PhiloHuman mindset entails embracing these principles in everyday life and working towards becoming a service-oriented leader:

In the Workplace: Business leaders can incorporate the PhiloHuman principles by creating environments where employees feel valued for their authentic selves, fostering empathy among team members, and emphasizing collective human welfare over individual gain.

In Personal Relationships: Individuals can practice empathy and authenticity, supporting their friends and family in living true to themselves and valuing their unique experiences and perspectives.

In Community Engagement: Active involvement in community service that focuses on uniting and uplifting people from diverse backgrounds aligns with the PhiloHuman's emphasis on humanity and service.

Impact on Society

[edit]

The PhiloHuman mindset aims to nurture a culture based on being real, understanding others' feelings, recognizing our shared human nature, and helping one another. By promoting these values, it hopes to break down the barriers that separate us and build a world where people are more connected and care about each other. This way of thinking goes against today's common social standards that usually focus on competing against others and creating divisions rather than bringing people together and treating everyone with respect. Instead, PhiloHuman encourages a shift towards unity and kindness, challenging us to rethink how we interact with one another and strive for a more compassionate society.

Notable Works

[edit]

Let Me Be Vulnerable: The PhiloHuman Way [5] by Dr. Rojin Karickal is the foundational text where the term PhiloHuman was first defined.

Transform Your Life With The PhiloHuman Mindset [6] further explores the practical applications and deeper philosophical underpinnings of the PhiloHuman principles.

Conclusion

[edit]

The concept of the PhiloHuman presents a hopeful vision for both individual and collective flourishing. By aligning one’s life with the principles of authenticity, empathy, humanity, and service, individuals can not only enrich their personal experiences but also contribute significantly to a more harmonious and united world. Dr. Karickal’s work serves as a guide for those seeking to navigate their lives with greater integrity, compassion, and purpose.
