Abstract
This chapter considers theories underpinning the teaching of success abilities. Some are wary of such explanations, but they are based on research showing how humans behave. Over time, changes in theoretical focus are in keeping with advancing knowledge and different cultural views. Theories outlined are grouped under personality, cognition and communication, showing a recent move towards more holistic models that account for both mind, body and spiritual Fuinctioning and acknowledge contextual and cultural attitudes.
