Sevens: An Explanation of Human Psychological Development and Growth By Robert Howes

A basic “How-To” instruction manual for human life. Seven—just one number to remember. Every seven years. Remember to change every seven years. In this detailed book, Robert Howes explains how and why every human must change their own inner psychology every seven years. It’s how life works for humans; we are conditioned to evolve every seven years. We have to transform from who we were into who we must become, and each change can be as dramatic as the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

This book posits not only how and why we must transform in each seven-year cycle, but also what happens when we don’t transform—either fully or partially—and explains many increasingly commonplace human problems and conditions. Many psychological issues are often written o) to an ‘unhappy childhood’, but what does this actually mean? What are the crucial developmental childhood issues, and how do they build upon each other? Most young people are struggling with ‘adulting’, but why is this so, and what can be done about
it? What is the real reason why women are, and have been for centuries, misunderstood, underappreciated, held back, and basically downtrodden? What is the hidden ‘inner feminine’, and how do we find and achieve it? How do we put men and their misguided mid-life crises into perspective? What happens during the time and process in our lives when we seek answers and guidance, when we are driven to “give back” to society? How should we end the final seven-year cycle gracefully?
