Description
The Evolving Self Problem and Process in Human Development by Robert Kegan Harvard University Press, 1982, Paperback, 318 pages This book explores the fundamental human struggle to make sense of experience and give meaning to life. According to Robert Kegan, this process begins in infancy and continues through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, with each stage presenting a new challenge to our understanding of ourselves and others. At its core, The Evolving Self is about the ongoing negotiation between our desire for connection and attachment, and our need for independence and autonomy. Kegan uses Piagetian theory to shed new light on how we make sense of ourselves, revealing that each stage represents a fresh attempt to reconcile these opposing forces. This thought-provoking book offers a unique perspective on human development and the psychological struggles that arise along the way. A valuable contribution to our understanding of human growth and psychological well-being, The Evolving Self is written in an engaging and accessible style, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in psychology and personal development.
