بسیاری از نظریه پردازان مورد اشاره در این کتاب، در برابر وسوسه تسلیم شدن به هویت های شغلی معمول، مقاومت کردند. ‍پیاژه، فروید، اریکسون، همچون بسیاری از افراد دیگر، برای دستیابی به حرفه شایسته و واقعی خود، زمان زیادی را به جستجو پرداختند. هرچند این جستجو برای آن ها همیشه لذتبخش نبود، اما در نهایت به روش های نوینی از ادراک و تغییراتی پرمعنا در حرفه آن ها منجر شد.

The ultimate weakness of Communism is that it robs man of that quality which makes him man. Man, says Paul Tillich, is man because he is free. This freedom is expressed through man's capacity to deliberate, decide, and respond. Under Communism, the individual soul is shackled by the chains of conformity; his spirit is bound by the manacles of party allegiance. He is stripped of both conscience and reason.

Man is man because he is free to operate within the framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy.

At times in our lives the tail winds of joy, triumph, and fulfillment favor us, and at times the head winds of disappointment, sorrow, and tragedy beat unrelentingly against us. Shall we permit adverse winds to overwhelm us or will our inner spiritual engines sustain us in spite of the winds? Our refusal to be stopped, our "courage to be," our determination to go on "in spite of," reveal the divine image within us.

Every person must have a concern for self and feel a responsibility to discover his mission in life...After one has discovered what he is made for, he should surrender all of the power in his being to the achievement of this...No one ever makes a great contribution to humanity without this majestic sense of purpose and this dogged determination.

- Modern man is presently having a rendezvous with chaos, not merely because of human badness, but also because of human stupidity.

- If modern man continues to flirt unhesitatingly with war and eventually transforms his earthly habitat into an inferno such as even the mind of Dante could not imagine, it will have resulted from downright badness and also from downright stupidity.
