Making a Life: Career, Commitment, and the Life Process

by Gene Ruyle

(From the cover:) A book to help us understand what we are doing with our lives. Psychologist Gene Ruyle shows us how both choosing or changing a career and making a life are rooted in the life-process of each individual. He urges us to seek and find that special calling which is ours alone. He seeks to engage each person's own experiences so that we may be guided through our search by our own uniqueness, and provides a variety of awareness exercises to help us along the way.
