Challenged to consider his own sense of maturity while mentoring a group of teenage boys, Fischer began to investigate our preconceptions about what it means to be \"an adult\" and shows how crucial true maturity is to leading an engaged, fulfilled life. \u003cem\u003eTaking Our Places\u003c\/em\u003e details the marks of a mature person and shows how these attributes can help alleviate our suffering and enrich our relationships. Discussing such qualities as awareness, responsibility, humour, acceptance, and humility, Fischer brings a fresh and at times surprising new perspective that can turn old ideas on their heads and reinvigorate our understanding of what it means to be mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Fischer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060587199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060587192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.28w x 0.49d","brand":"Norman Fischer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995475706111,"sku":"9780060587192","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9f81d5c-a71d-4cb5-bd3a-80431c04f094.jpg?v=1683336028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-our-places-norman-fischer-9780060587192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
