Synopsis

This exploration of adulthood and redefinition of the age of consent tosses out the old, generational model and redefines adulthood for our time--according to consciousness rather than chronology. A welcome departure from the accepted norm of guaranteed adulthood at the age of 21, the authors' model offers easily accessible guidelines and suggestions for achieving an examined life.

About this title

Review:

What eaxtly does it mean to be an adult. What constitutes maturity in our culture today? In A Conscious Life: Cultivating The Seven Qualities Of Authentic Adulthood, Fran & Louis Cox explore the issues of adulthood by presenting personal stories and offering psychological principles as a way of redefining adulthood in terms of consciousness rather than chronology. A Conscious Life provides a refreshing look at what adulthood can andshould be, contrasting the idea of "grown up" with that of the truly healthy adult. The authors' model is a departure from the accepted norm of adulthood upon the age of 21 and the recent trend of delaying adulthood past the troublesome twenties. Guidelines and examples help readers break out of the cycle of their parents lives (experienced as the children). Also provided, is information on how to avoid being controlled by emotional "triggers". -- Midwest Book Review
