A nine-part organization covers beginnings, infancy: forming the foundations of life, the preschool years, the middle childhood years, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood, and endings. For individuals spanning the range of human existence—and trying to maximize its current content and inherent promise.
