description: What are the keys to finding fulfillment in life? What personality traits do successful individuals have in common? What factors determine whether a child will grow up to be a successful adult-and, furthermore, can success as an adult be predicted by personality traits exhibited when young? Since the 1950s Douglas H. Heath has been charting the lives of a wide range of individuals to discover the answers to such questions. In this book, Heath reveals the findings of his extensive longitudinal study, describing the key contributors to well-being, success, and happiness in adult life. Seeking a comprehensive understanding of what it means to find fulfillment, Heath explores the personality traits that contribute to success in all the roles men and women play in their lives-whether in their careers, marriages, interpersonal relationships, or families. Fulfilling Lives offers invaluable insights that will help readers better understand themselves, determine their goals, and understand the characteristics required to realize potential and achieve satisfaction in life. And, by detailing the characteristics that foster success, this book presents important implications for all those charged with helping others find fulfillment, including therapists, counselors, teachers, and parents.
