Today we live in an information society, constantly bombarded by new scientific discoveries in every field. What we thought to be "common sense" is changing and we tend to look to the multiple professional organizations for guidelines.
This book focuses on our every day relationships within the five life cycles of age, family, education, work and leisure. It puts you - the reader - in the center of your life.
Each chapter gives you a backdrop to become your own "case study" with thought questions to create awareness of the impact your life has on others and how in turn their lives inspire and constrain you.
Separate chapters are dedicated to the impact of health, choice of life values, self-esteem and family relocation as constraints on your life cycle involvements.
The goal in writing this book has been to empower the reader to view his or her life in a fresh, new personal perspective.
