The Evolving Self: A Psychology for the Third Millennium

“An enormously helpful resource for thinking about the world that lies ahead and how we can influence it for the better.” (Robert N. Bellah, coauthor of Habits of the Heart)

“The author believes that becoming an active, conscious part of the evolutionary process can give our lives meaning and joy. In fact, the fate of humanity in the next millennium depends on the kind of selves we become today.” (Library Journal)

“The Evolving Self suggests that only a collaborative effort of individuals willing to bring the creative zest of flow to the hard questions of moral choice will ensure a viable and harmonious future.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

"A book of singular importance and timeliness, one with momentous implications for the future." (Howard Gardner)
