Kegan's work has been quite influential for me, both in helping me understand myself and others.
His later work, collaborating with Lisa Lehey is more actionable, in a work context, but builds on the foundations outlines here.
- cryptozeus 7y agoNice, I am just beginning to explore his work. Any recommendations on the books or articles would be great.
- gexla 7y agoDavid Chapman quotes Kegan a lot in his "Meaningness" blog. I included one link, but you should find more of his writing linked from there. Check out the rest of the site as well. https://meaningness.com/metablog/stem-fluidity-bridge https://meaningness.com/metablog/stem-fluidity-bridge ETA: From the (Stanford) article this thread is attached to... > Kegan (Robert) introduced his theory of self-evolution in 1982 in his book, The Evolving Self. In his later book, In over Our Heads: The Mental Demands of Modern Life (1994), he presented a revised version of his theory and further discussion of the implications of his work for society. Of those two books, The Evolving Self is the easier read. I would start with that one.
- cryptozeus 7y agoHa that is where I found kegan. Meaningness blog is a reip down the rabbit hole.
- seltzered_ 7y agoFWIW, I discovered Kegan via this article: https://medium.com/@NataliMorad/how-to-be-an-adult-kegans-theory-of-adult-development-d63f4311b553 https://medium.com/@NataliMorad/how-to-be-an-adult-kegans-th... Also, Zachary Stein's Lectica project has a video showing Kegan among other adult developmental psychologists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0PDUK3tcN0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0PDUK3tcN0
