About this ebook

Growing Up Human: A Guide to Navigating and Understanding Our Lifespan sheds light on the psychology of human development. Each chapter in the book marks a stage in our lifespan from babies to functioning adults based on Erik Erikson's theory on psychosocial development.

What shapes an individual from birth to death? How does your relationship with others influence your own view of the world? What makes you uniquely you as you grow older (and hopefully wiser)? How can you tackle the different challenges life presents?

The book pairs research with real-life advice and draws from the authors’ experience in developmental psychology, offering insights into the challenges each stage brings and ways to overcome them. Discover yourself through the science of growing up and appreciate the influences that make us human.

This book is suitable for teens, young adults, parents, psychology students, and the general public.
