The Gift and the Labor of Gratitude

Meer over het boek

Focusing on intergenerational relations, the book explores how adult development intertwines the ability to give with the capacity for gratitude. It presents gratitude as a complex achievement that acknowledges one's interconnectedness with others while moving beyond self-sufficiency. The author argues that this ongoing process fosters awareness of indebtedness and helps individuals recognize their own value in relationships. Aimed at researchers, clinicians, and those interested in personal transformation, it delves into the emotional development that occurs in the latter half of life.
