R. J. Kegan

R. J. Kegan is a psychologist known for his work on adult development and how individuals evolve in their thinking and self-understanding over time. He proposed that people progress through increasingly complex stages of mental growth, enabling better relationships, decision-making, and self-awareness. Kegan's model describes how our way of making sense of the world becomes more sophisticated as we face challenges and reflect on our experiences. His work helps explain personal transformation and how adults can continue developing throughout their lives, fostering growth in both personal and professional contexts.
