Résumé :
Living Wisely-For Millennials & Beyond by psychologist Barry M. Cohen explores the essential life skills that millennials beginning their journeys through life-as well as all the rest of us-need to live wisely and well throughout our lives. Reflecting Dr. Cohen's decades-long experiences as a consulting psychologist to healthy corporate populations, the skills covered in Living Wisely are timeless and apply to all generations. This guide approaches these skills from the perspectives and experiences of millennials living in the twenty-first century. Ironically, it has never been more important than it is today to develop the skills of resourcefulness, motivation, resilience, leadership, savvy financial habits, smart aging, self-fulfillment, and more. Living Wisely-For Millennials & Beyond also helps readers self-assess the crucial personal skills that lead to accomplished lives. This much-needed introspective search begins when young millennials are most vulnerable and making critical decisions such as choosing a lifelong partner, establishing a career, and making financial plans. These critical decisions typically extend into their middle and retirement years. Throughout the book, scientific research and contributions from psychology, medicine, and renowned life coaches validate each skill and illustrate how it contributes to well-being. All those seeking to gain healthy life habits for self-improvement will find the book an invaluable resource-especially parents of millennials who wish to wisely guide their young adults through the hurdles they face. While no one moves through life unscathed, Living Wisely offers an informative and encouraging roadmap for growing up and flourishing....
