There is no one factor that solves the issue.\u00a0<em>The Challenge of Being Human<\/em>\u00a0(Routledge, 2018) explores tendencies that make us up and capacities that try to meet them. The shock of ourselves is perennial. We are challenged by our own aliveness and a need to open doors as yet unknown. We are not done evolving, growing, learning, feeling, caring. Growth of the capacity to tolerate and work with experience is part of our evolutionary challenge. This book seeks to support us in whatever ways we can begin to meet this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Link to paperback or eBook editions:\u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/The-Challenge-of-Being-Human\/Eigen\/p\/book\/9781782206538\">https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/The-Challenge-of-Being-Human\/Eigen\/p\/book\/9781782206538<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Link to Kindle edition:\u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Challenge-Being-Human-Michael-Eigen-ebook\/dp\/B07D6BSYT4\/ref=sr_1_29?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1526959095&amp;sr=1-29&amp;keywords=michael+eigen&amp;dpID=51eqDKSurrL&amp;preST=_SY445_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Challenge-Being-Human-Michael-Eigen-ebook\/dp\/B07D6BSYT4\/ref=sr_1_29?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1526959095&amp;sr=1-29&amp;keywords=michael+eigen&amp;dpID=51eqDKSurrL&amp;preST=_SY445_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eigenphoto0616w.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4596 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/eigenphoto0616w.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"132\" \/><\/a>Michael Eigen, PhD<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"&#109;&#x61;i&#x6c;t&#111;&#x3a;&#109;&#x69;k&#101;&#x69;&#103;&#x65;n&#x40;&#x61;&#111;&#x6c;&#46;&#x63;o&#109;\">Email Michael Eigen<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Eigen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":6,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[61],"issuem_issue_categories":[],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-7325","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","issuem_issue-bookshelf-special-edition-september-2018"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
