Each person's life journey is unique-a true work of art. But our individual biography and its meaning remains a mystery to most of us. This book explores the human adventure of moving from infant to elder. Just as physical growth follows well understood cycles and phases, each life path, regardless of fame or success, is guided by characteristic laws and stages as well. Tools and strategies for exploring your own biography are provided to help you see your life in a clearer way. As you examine the outer challenges and inner growth they produced you will better understand your unique patterns, as well as those commonly experienced by all of society. Enhanced self-awareness and insight invites us to take new directions and reinvent old goals. We can integrate and heal the difficult and unique experiences that are often at the root of illness and depression, moving towards greater wholeness. By consciously working through our own life story, we gain an appreciation for the courage and creativity we used to navigate our life. As we understand ourselves more deeply, we have a new understanding of others and society; a more humane and caring world is born.
