The book was very ahead of its time 30 years ago, and is even more urgently relevant today, exploring how to get beyond the wheel of victimhood, finding our full adulthood in freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy is it that a sense of freedom and well-being is not a more natural human state? Perhaps we are still hampered by an outdated 'Newtonian Psychology' which underpins the belief that something or somebody caused us to be the way we are. Once trapped in an endless chain of blaming, woundedness and guilt, victimhood prevails and adulthood then eludes us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlong with our species' physical maturity, there must surely be vital aspects of the human psyche which most of us have not, as yet, brought into play. In relinquishing our present framework of thought, and opening to a more extended experience of self, spirit and ego could then be reconciled, with freedom and responsibility becoming an achievable reality. Yet letting go is precisely what we fear most. This book is an exploration of why this should be so - and an invitation to embrace our full adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915594065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915594068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interactions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.71w x 0.84d","brand":"Jill Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47203208691967,"sku":"9781915594068","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_929d40c1-d704-4dc8-903c-755b59f0638e.jpg?v=1756834671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reluctant-adult-revisited-jill-hall-9781915594068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
