Jonah complex : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jonah complex The Jonah complex is the fear of success which prevents self-actualization, or the realization of one's potential.〔Abraham Maslow, (The Farther Reaches of Human Nature )〕〔Department of Cognitive Science, Chris VerWys. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, (Personality Psychology ), Ambraham Maslow〕 It is the fear of one's own greatness, the evasion of one's destiny, or the avoidance of exercising one's talents.〔 Just as the fear of achieving a personal worst can motivate personal growth, the fear of achieving a personal best can also hinder achievement.〔 ==Etymology== Although Abraham Maslow is accredited for the term, the name “Jonah complex” was originally suggested by Maslow’s friend, Professor Frank Manuel.〔 The name comes from the Biblical story of Prophet Jonah's evasion of the destiny to prophesy the destruction of Ninevah.〔 Maslow states, "So often we run away from the responsibilities dictated (or rather suggested) by nature, by fate, even sometimes by accident, just as Jonah tried—in vain—to run away from ''his'' fate".〔
