Life has no manual. But Gradual Education Development: Development of Self is something we arguably need. Within this book, you will implement the six learning objectives;

1. Self-Reflection

2. Conflict & Solutions

3. Goals & Motivation

4. Application

5. Reassessment

6. Purpose

These learning objectives are the foundation that defines the GED of self. The term GED is better known as a General Education Diploma. Students of traditional schools receive diplomas. Those who choose a different path receive a GED, which demonstrates knowledge equivalent to that of a high school graduate. Since this book is not in a traditional approach to learning, the GED concept was born. As you follow this book, you will develop perspectives and concepts that can change how you define yourself.

You've said it after a good conversation — "we should talk more." But when was the last time you said it to yourself? 

It's the conversation you keep skipping — the one with you. The conversation manifests across 6 learning objectives:

1. How Did We Get Here?

2. Finding Your Center

3. Boundaries

4. Accountability

5. Rite of Passage

6. Let Go and Let Grow

Each objective builds on the last — from knowing who you are, to drawing your lines, to discovering who you're capable of becoming. The goal isn't to give you the answers you want to hear, but to highlight what you need. 

Growth and development will happen. Why not do it on purpose? JCS wrote this book to introduce (and explain) different concepts of understanding yourself.
