Finding Merlin

by Kate Cowie

As human beings, we are on a daily journey of growth and development. Encountering change has become almost the one constant in modern-day life. How you undertake this journey, and how you embrace and cope with such change, is the key to successful development and fulfilling your potential in work and life in general.This book, written by two leading practitioners and coaches in human development, provides confidence and a practical roadmap to help anyone find their way along their personal development pathway, overcome change and create a more fulfilling life. Using the vehicle of the Arthurian legend, Merlin, they make the work of many theorists accessible, culminating in a practical 7-stage framework to engage readers and enable them to undertake the challenges ahead with confidence.

I've read a lot of books on vertical development (ego development, psycho-social development) and a lot of books on leadership and I have not read anything that comes close to Cowie's ability to describe what it is like to be a leader operating from post-conventional stages of development. She took me places I have not been before, and opened new ways of understanding the post-conventional mind. And she writes beautifully.

Interesting take on personal development as Joseph Campbell's hero's journey writ small. Blends Arthurian legend with sociological , intellectual, and developmental development models for a truly unique look at personal growth.
