| Description: |
This text argues that people's childhood experiences neither determine who they become later nor limit what they can do. What enables people to survive is the adaptability to change, shaped by the human attributes of consciousness, will and desire. |
| Synopsis: |
Few people question the pervasive belief that early childhood exerts an inordinate power over adult achievements, relationships, and mental health. Once robbed of our potential by the inadequacies of our upbringing, the theory goes, we risk being trapped in maladaptive patterns and unfulfilling lives. But does early experience really seal our fate? Daring to challenge prevailing models of child development, this provocative book argues that what enables us to survive--and sets us free from our pasts--is our astonishing adaptability to change, shaped by the uniquely human attributes of consciousness, will, and desire. |
