The Right Life

Meer over het boek

How do we find the life that's right for each of us? Many feel overwhelmed by the struggle to lead fulfilling lives. Children face immense pressure to achieve; adults juggle family and work demands; and the elderly often experience social isolation and insecurity. Across all ages, individuals feel increasingly disconnected from the world and unable to align their lives with their unique needs and talents. Renowned child development expert Remo Largo identifies a fundamental issue: a flawed understanding of what it means to be human. Drawing on forty years of research and medical experience, he presents a new theory of human thriving. By tracing our development from evolution to the present, he introduces the 'Fit Principle,' which posits that humans inherently seek harmony with others and their environment. Instead of a relentless pursuit of self-improvement, Largo advocates for individual self-acceptance, recognizing the distinct combination of skills, needs, and limitations that define each person. He suggests that a deeper understanding of human thriving can not only help individuals reconnect with their uniqueness but also enable us to reshape society and the economy for a more fulfilling existence.
