Summary: Life Launch ... A Guide to Authoring Your Own Life
Comment: After integrating the inventions of man's several thousand years of creativity, life is now more complex and perhaps less satisfying rather than simpler and more fulfilling. Why? Because people now invest less time proactively authoring their lives and more time reactively accumulating "stuff." While "self-help" books with advice for "fixing ourselves" are abundant, there are few meaningful writings on how to author our own fulfilling life stories. "Life Launch: A Passionate Guide to the Rest of Your Life" is one of these precious few.
"Life Launch" is a powerful, well organized set of tools for helping us author our own purposeful lives. Dr. Hudson's ingenious use of conceptual "maps" breaks even the most complex phenomena, like life transitions, into comprehensible visual models. These maps powerfully facilitate: (a) characterizing the experiences we endure as we traverse the cycle of life transitions, (b) increasing our awareness of our individual resources and opportunities, (c) defining and clarifying our values and life purpose, (d) acknowledging our numerous life roles, and (e) authoring our own lives-lives that more completely and fulfillingly engage us.
Dr. Hudson's "Cycle of Renewal" is particularly powerful as we enter the 21st century where people are striving for more connection with themselves as well as with others. Like the Yin and Yang, Dr. Hudson characterizes life as a balance of "being" and "doing." Similarly, while most of us have heard of "midlife crises", few of understand the dynamics of natural life transitions. Building on the concepts of seminal researchers in Adult Development, Dr. Hudson translates psycho-babble into understandable layman's language and presents them as "The Grand Adventure: from 20 to 90."
"Life Launch" is a valuable read for every person striving to author the life they've previously only dreamed of. "If one's destiny is shaped from within, then one has to act more freely as the creator. One has to be at once the subject, author, and creator." Life Launch is this person's toolkit. A definite five star read!

Summary: contemporary
Comment: I used two books for my recent Psychology class and life launch was up to date with todays society. I could relate this book to my own life. I gave this book to a dear friend for her birthday and she recommends it to others as well.
