“Look for the extraordinary, the simple, delicate extraordinary. But to see, to find it in nature and in other people and in situations, and in organization state, there's almost always something you can find that is precious, but you have to look.”
When I first started studying human development, I encountered Dr. Cook-Greuter’s books and theory of ego development. I was enlightened by her in a way that is difficult to explain. Her work on how we develop as adults is foundational to understanding ourselves and many of the issues we encounter as we navigate the world.
In this episode, I am honored to talk with the legendary Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter, an international authority on adult and ego development.
As a realist with decades of experience and study in adult development , she discusses both the lighter and darker sides of humanity. She also provides deep insights into ways we can learn and improve as human beings.
If you are interested in the future of humanity and evolving to be a better human, tune in to this profound talk where Dr. Cook-Greuter and I dive deep into the real challenges we face as humans.
