No Real Development As Adults

What we know from a hundred years of developmental research is that humans develop in a reflective constructive loop with their environment. This development occurs well beyond the end of the structural-physiological growth of our brains (i.e. biologically driven development). Yet, despite our constant embeddedness within work challenges, we don’t use them as developmental opportunities in adulthood. In many ways, “adulthood” is actually full of opportunities to avoid development.
