This is a book about human resources. It is about changes in goals, about managing careers, about work. Most of all, it is about personal vitality - the abiilty to grow and to adapt to new conditions, new information, new outlooks. The author sees personal vitality as an integrating life purpose, an emerging work ethic, a viable personal, management, and governmental strategy for survival. It is a strategy that can improve the quality of life. The book is divided in two sections. The first, Vitality In Our Lives, describe the challenge and presents sources of solution to the challenge. Vitality is defined and the elements that make it up are reviewed. Personal-growth concepts, including how people learn and how to bring about the conditions for learning, are examined in detail. The second section, Putting It All Together, brings into focus for the individual, the organization, and the nation techniques for setting and achieving personal goals, for implementing personal change, and for redesigning individual jobs.
