For fans of the 7-Up series, a new generation and their life choices are now explored through the prism of Erikson's personality theories. This compelling book captures the progression of the Baby Boomer generation over three decades. Whitbourne portrays the life choices made by a group of individuals participating in an ongoing, longitudinal research study, and shows how these decisions, combined with personality factors, influenced their life progression. Whitbourne's description of life pathways helped to bring my own life into focus. I believe that the fascinating set of case-studies will resonate with older and younger readers alike, but will also bring hope--that it is never too late to change paths and find fulfillment.
