Psychological and religious development

the long version

This book has come out of nearly a decade of personal interviews, biographical analysis, and literature survey in related fields. It attempts to present a comprehensive picture of human growth with depth and perceptive insight, (which may stimulate some psychologists and social scientists toward formulating new hypothesis in their empirical study). By integrating theories from the literature survey and critical reflection on the study with the concrete life experiences from personal interviews and biographies, I wish to present a thorough picture of maturity and maturation to the reader with the hope that he or she may be engaged in pushing our present culture to a more mature stage.
