About this ebook

What happens when the abundance of possibilities we fully enjoy today meets the lack of personal responsibility and the habit of not assuming any obligations, whatever they may be, related to the multitude of rights we believe we deserve?

Entitlement.

Phenomenon. Historical. Cultural. Social and human. Economic.

Andrei Cristian is an engineer, internationally accredited coach, APC, by IAPC&M, management consultant and pragmatic observer of people in interaction with society. Concerned with the continuous evolution of humanity, throughout history, until today, Andrei Cristian identifies, in the behavioral trends of his fellows, a new age: the age of entitlement.

Born from the excessive comfort that contemporary man enjoys, thanks to technology and to the progress of civilization, the age of entitlement marks a new historical age of human society: the age of overabundance of possibilities. Paradoxically, the age of entitlement created a new man: in conflict with his peers and convinced that he is entitled to everything, with a minimum of effort.

Where will society go from here, when more and more people consider that they deserve and that they have a lot of rights, without assuming the responsibilities that naturally derive from these rights?

About the author

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way" – Marcus Aurelius (161-180)

 

Engineer, management consultant and book enthusiast, I have had an interest in books for as long as I can remember.

My passion for work and my continued effort toward personal development motivate me to always learn new things, and books are an important tool in this regard.

On the coaching side, I graduated from the Technical Coaching Bootcamp as well as the Life Coaching Practitioner courses and I am an accredited practitioner coach (APC) by IAPC&M.

I believe that reading is a healthy habit designed to develop our capacity for introspection and self-awareness.
