The book concentrates on
those persons in the United States between 1946 and 1964. So this is making
comment about people between the age ages of 49 and 67.
First: “What I can say is the idea of
who you are, what it means to be you, and how happy and satisfied you are, are
the most personal truths you hold.
I will not, and cannot, try to change your ideas of who you are. I will attempt to share with you the
benefits of knowing, questioning, and improving yourself.”
Next: “Your self is much like a cake, made up
of many parts, including (in the case of a cake), flour, suger, milk, eggs,
flavorings, and other ingredients.
The ingredients may be constant, but it is the baker who makes the
cake. To understand your self you
need to know about the many “ingredients” from which you are made. Once you know yourself, you can blend
your personal, social, physical, and financial dimands into an integrated whole
that is greater than the sum of it’s parts.”
“So: How would you describe
yourself?
