Kegan's work has been quite influential for me, both in helping me understand myself and others.

His later work, collaborating with Lisa Lehey is more actionable, in a work context, but builds on the foundations outlines here.

Nice, I am just beginning to explore his work. Any recommendations on the books or articles would be great.

David Chapman quotes Kegan a lot in his "Meaningness" blog. I included one link, but you should find more of his writing linked from there. Check out the rest of the site as well.

ETA: From the (Stanford) article this thread is attached to...

> Kegan (Robert) introduced his theory of self-evolution in 1982 in his book, The Evolving Self. In his later book, In over Our Heads: The Mental Demands of Modern Life (1994), he presented a revised version of his theory and further discussion of the implications of his work for society.

Of those two books, The Evolving Self is the easier read. I would start with that one.

Ha that is where I found kegan. Meaningness blog is a reip down the rabbit hole.

FWIW, I discovered Kegan via this article: https://medium.com/@NataliMorad/how-to-be-an-adult-kegans-th...

Also, Zachary Stein's Lectica project has a video showing Kegan among other adult developmental psychologists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0PDUK3tcN0
