“One of the most difficult things to accomplish is to explain authenticity to someone who has neither the experience or the incliniation to take control of his or her life. Dr. Chirban has found a way. He has talked with truly remarkable people who live their authenticities and serve as models of greatness in this regard. We can deny our authenticity, or as exemplified, grow into the creative selves we were destined to become. This book is an inspiration to those who realize they do, indeed, have their own authenticity.” -DR. PHIL McGRAWBestselling author of The Ultimate Weight Solution, Self Matters, Relationship Rescue, and Life Strategies

True Coming of Age is a masterful and compassionate book of essential guidance for our contemporary spiritual culture. Inspired and passionate about the search for meaning, author John T. Chirban, Ph.D., Th.D., has drawn from years of clinical research as well as heart opening personal experiences to write this text which reads like a porthole into the soul.”-CAROLINE MYSSAuthor of Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of the Spirit
