Gail Sheehy’s classic bestseller, Passages Predictable Crises of Adult Life, is available as an eBook for the first time, with a new introduction.
For decades, Gail Sheehy’s landmark bestseller Passages has been inspiring readers to see the predictable crises of adult life as opportunities for growth. She charts the stages between 18 and 50 as unfolding in a pattern of adult development once recognized, more easily managed. Passages is an insightful road map of adulthood that illustrates with vivid stories our continuing personality and sexual changes throughout the “Trying 20s,” “Catch 30s,” “Forlorn 40s,” and “Refreshed (or Resigned) 50s.” One comment is continuously repeated by men, women, singles, couples, and people who recover from a midlife crisis “This book changed my life.”

I had read Passages 20 years ago, then donated it to a library. From then on, I regretted not having it when I talked with friends about the transitions in adult life. The last time I had that regret, I happily remembered that I could order used books easily on Amazon, so I got two copies. One is to lend and one is to keep.What is so special about this book is that it picks up where other books end. There are thousands of books about infants, young children and teens. We fully understand that growth is a process and that, while each person is unique, there are commonalities in development. However, once we are adults, we seem to think we are static.
Passages describes the normal growth throughout life. It is comforting to see, for example, that most people have to seriously reassess their goals in their 40's.
This book is especially encouraging for parents of adult chidren. It affirms that we are changing our own priorities and it helps us to see how our needs and the ever changing needs of our offspring can complement one another. Maybe most importantly, we are reminded that their attention to their own careers and children right when we crave more intimacy with them is normal and healthy.

Passages Predictable Crises of Adult Life edition by Gail Sheehy Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
This book refreshed me reading stories of others facing the same patterns, and understanding how these patterns comprise an essential part of our culture.
I read this as a mid-teen when it came out and sent it to a young friend as he entered the Naval Academy. I think it's helpful no matter what your age, but especially for a young person to reinforce being sensitive to others' journeys.
I bought this book for my son, who at 36 yrs. is finally having to accept more responsibity and asked some questions. I read the book abour 40 years ago and remembered it. I say that is worth 5 stars
I had gotten this book when it first came out in the 70's. Lost a lot of books in the 80's and now I am getting some back. This one and her Passages for women "the Silent Passage" were very helpful in understanding many things in my life. The 'generic life cycles' was understandable and useful.
Wow! This book was like talking to myself at the age of 20, then 30, and now 40!!!! This books addresses all those thoughts we have and think no one else could possibly think this!! As a therapist, I love how deeply the author goes into developmental stages of adults with reference to Erik Erickson and many other know professionals! I found myself reading passages to my significant other and he actually wanted to hear them!
I LOVED this book! Read it too late to change things in my life, as I am a senior citizen, but as I read it I felt she had been a silent observer in things that I did. A must read for girls and young women before they attach themselves to a male and fail to learn who THEY are supposed to be and how to proceed with the only life they are given. Give this book to a 7th or 8th grader and older so they can reach their full potential. Incredible read.
Passages was the first book I ever read that set out the various "passages" that we go through as we begin to mature. I was bowled over, because I had begun to realize how different I was at various ages, going through obvious changes, every 10 years or so. I called these stages "Plateaus", and felt so validated in my own awareness of these stages. At the time it was first published in the 70's, I thought it was brilliant, and best of all, reassuring. I was in my early 30's then, and the book really gave me hope for my future. I have to say I have continued to be very aware of these passages, which seem to occur roughly every 10 years or so (I'm a year away from turning 80, and it's still happening!). I was thrilled when Gail Sheehy actually came out with a follow-up book about what life is like in our 50's and 60's. If you want to understand what the heck has been happening to you and those you know - in a way that clears up so much confusion, read this book - it's timeless!
