Summary

"Dr. John Chirban has helped countless people learn what it takes to create a genuine life through periods of both hardship and success-to live more openly, honestly, and fully. Now, in his ground-breaking book True Coming of Age, he shows you how to experience the depth of authentic living as a pathway to experiencing True Coming of Age-a unique emotional and spiritual evolution that will change your life forever. In this provocative and engaging book, Dr. Chirban shares exclusive personal insights from notable Americans including Tom Hanks, Maya Angelou, Sandra Day O'Connor, Ron Howard, and Tom Brokaw.
