| Summary: | "This is not a book that talks about the rising generation. This is a book that speaks to the rising generation. The Quest for Legitimacy: How Children of Prominent Families Discover Their Unique Place in the World is about finding one's sense of purpose, in or out of their family enterprise, after growing up in a storied or prominent family. The principles in the book will have a broad appeal to children in larger-than-life families, where the achievements of the parents cast a long shadow over the children as they make their way in the world. The Quest for Legitimacy uses qualitative research conducted with the Rising Generation to speak to the heart of the rising generation as they are casting about trying to figure out how to hold onto what's important about the world in which they were brought up--namely the family--while still figuring out their sense of self. The internal struggle for identity (the journey of legitimacy) that a Rising Generation from a storied family experiences is uncomfortable, and to discover their legitimacy, they must take a quest. The Quest for Legitimacy will cover topics such as: Rites of passage What liberation actually looks and feels like Separating from and returning to your family People to trust for your journey"-- |
