ARE YOU STANDING IN THE WAY OF YOUR OWN FULFILLMENT?
If, like millions of adults, you have ever asked yourself, "What is
the purpose of my life?" then you will discover in this thoughtful
book an original guide for finding life's meaning. Acclaimed
psychologist John Kotre offers a surprising solution for soul
searchers in their thirties, forties, midlife, and beyond. The key
to overcoming the obstacles that get in the way of finding
fulfillment in adulthood is to shape a legacy that will last beyond
our lifetimes.
Expanding upon the psychological phenomenon of "generativity" -- a
term Erik Erikson first coined fifty years ago to explain how
individuals create forms of life and work or legacies that live on
after their deaths -- Kotre shows us how to cultivate a desire to
impact future generations. Building a solid business or developing
a new idea can be as vital as raising children or sharing our
wisdom with young ones -- and for each of us, finding the kind of
generativity that is right is half the challenge.
Kotre clearly outlines a step-by-step pathway we will move along to
a more complete and fulfilling life. By listening to the past,
finding a voice, and selecting an audience, we will be able to
create and grow. In the first step, we begin by talking to our
past, dealing with positive or negative legacies received from our
parents. The second step is called stopping the damage because it
is the stage when we as parents can buffer or protect our children
from our own painful legacies. In the third step we find our voice;
the fourth and fifth steps call for blending our creations with the
creations of others. With selecting, step six, we choose what to
hold onto, which leads to step seven -- letting go of our
creations, such as seeing our children off to find their own way,
or selling a business when the time comes to move on. And it is in
the final step, when we learn to share, that we experience the
ultimate fulfillment.
John Kotre says that creating a legacy that lasts is within each
person's grasp. This innovative and sophisticated guide will
inspire anyone who may be suffering from a midlife crisis, seeking
guidance in life decisions, or engaged in the universal search for
meaning.
