Synopsis:

Growing up happens whether we like it or not, but maturity must be cultivated. Renowned Zen teacher Norman Fischer addresses this long-neglected subject, drawing upon insights from both the Buddhist and Jewish traditions in this accessible guide to skillfully navigating the ongoing demands of our adult lives.

Showing how crucial true maturity is to leading an engaged, fulfilled life, Fischer outlines the characteristics of a mature person, demonstrating how these attributes can help us successfully negotiate the challenges we face and enrich all of our relationships. Exploring essential qualities such as awareness, responsibility, humor, acceptance, and humility, Taking Our Places brings a fresh, necessary, and surprising perspective to what it means to be truly mature.

Book Description: HarperCollins Publishers Inc, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 204 x 134 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This engaging contemplation of maturity addresses the long neglected topic of what it means to grow up, and provides a hands-on guide for skilfully navigating the demands of our adult lives. Growing up happens whether we like it or not, but maturity must be cultivated. Challenged to consider his own sense of maturity while mentoring a group of teenage boys, Fischer began to investigate our preconceptions about what it means to be "an adult" and shows how crucial true maturity is to leading an engaged, fulfilled life. "Taking Our Places" details the marks of a mature person and shows how these attributes can help alleviate our suffering and enrich our relationships. Discussing such qualities as awareness, responsibility, humour, acceptance, and humility, Fischer brings a fresh and at times surprising new perspective that can turn old ideas on their heads and reinvigorate our understanding of what it means to be mature.
