Using the metaphor of the angel of Eden, which invites us from one growth stage to the next, he traces their lives (and ours) through life's five developmental stages-childhood (becoming an individual), adolescence (becoming an independent individual), young adulthood (choosing life's basic identifications-marriage, singlehood, and vocation), middle age (achieving full maturity), and old age (simplification-or, slowing down without shutting down).
