More about the book
The exploration of identity among 94 adults reveals their self-perceptions as family members, workers, and individuals with aspirations. Through extensive interviews, the author distills their reflections into a narrative that highlights both diversity and common themes in their responses to "Who am I?" Contrary to expectations, the study uncovers a strong sense of certainty and self-assuredness in their identities, challenging previous notions of developmental change in adulthood. The author's journey to this understanding involved a meticulous analysis of personal narratives rather than traditional quantitative methods.
