Riassunto

Periods of challenge and stress involving major changes in your life can bring you surprising fruit - your own personal growth and opportunity. You don't believe it? Turning Points intends to change your mind. Finding your way through these experiences creatively and systematically can turn out to be some of your life's most important. You can work with change in such a way that it works for you. Turning Points goes in depth into the major issues of life - the search for selfhood, career, relationships, technology, community, and meaning and purpose, especially today with the constant new breakthroughs in health and communications. Turning Points provides a fresh resource on how to manage all these changes and choices and make the most of them, at the same time offering fresh insights regarding your ability to access your own personal power. You yourself possess the personal power to experience directly the learning process and basic principles that will make any change work for you. Turning Points provides the resources you need to experience taking charge of, while taking advantage of, the turning points in your life. Organized in five sections, Section I establishes the context of a new reality in the world - change as a constant never experienced to such a degree before; and the new pathways open to you for manifesting your personal power in such a world. Sections II and III focus directly on you - the reader - giving you a chance to check out who you really are and where you are in your life - and then relating them to your work life. Section IV reviews the findings of experts in the field of human development as they apply to life transitions generally. The end result of your endeavor will be your ability - and hopefully, the inspiration - to give yourself the gift of examining your life in depth - leading you closer to the discovery of the bigger picture of your life and your future. Throughout Turning Points, stories are told about real-life people which
