Robert Waldinger, Marc Schulz, Questions of the ages
Teenagers are confronted with the following profound questions: What kind of person am I becoming? Who do I want to be like, and who do I want not to be like? What should I do with my life? Am I proud of who I am and who I am becoming? Will I be able to make my own way in the world? How do I know if my friends really like me? Can I count on them? How can I manage sexual and romantic feelings?
Young Adulthood (20-40): Weaving your own safety net Young adults have questions like that: Who I am? Am I capable of doing what I want with my life? Am I on the right path? What do I stand for? Will anyone love me?
Midlife (41-65): Stepping beyond the self In this stage of life common questions are like: Am I doing well compared with others? Am I in the rut? Am I a good partner/parent. Do I have good relationship with my kids? How many years do I have left? Does the life I'm leading have meaning beyond myself? What people/purposes I do really care about? What else do I want to do?
Late Life (66+): Minding what (and who) matters We start asking questions like that: How much time do I have left? How long will I stay healthy? Am I losing it mentally? Who do I want to spend this limited time with? Have I had a good enough life? What was meaningful? What do I regret?
