It means finding you and practical ways of caring for those who come after us and for the quality of social systems and environment that is passed on to them.

In the book
Human beings have a fundamental need for transformation — we are wired for growth and for healing, built to right ourselves and resume a climb that has stalled. The work of becoming a fuller person never ends; we are meant to keep giving birth to new aspects of ourselves that secure a higher well-being in the years ahead. And this is not a luxury but a necessity: we live in an era of continuous improvement, where a person, like a business, must keep getting better simply to avoid becoming obsolete. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
