Adult development
The document outlines 5 stages of adult development: 1. The impulsive mind, where people perceive and respond based on emotion without considering consequences. 2. The imperial mind, where people focus on their own needs and see others as tools to get needs met. 3. The socialized mind, where people have a strong need for approval and seek alignment with others. 4. The self-authoring mind, where people can independently define their values and consciously question their environment. 5. The self-transforming mind, where people can question themselves and authority and understand multiple perspectives.
