Biography Work & Life Review

Biography work and life review is a counseling practice rooted in the anthroposophic understanding that human life unfolds in rhythmic phases of approximately seven years. Developed from Rudolf Steiner’s indications on development and karma, this approach helps individuals recognize meaningful patterns and turning points in their personal history.

This collection of approximately 40 titles includes Bernard Lievegoed’s seminal Phases, Gudrun Burkhard’s Taking Charge, and works by Karl König on the seven-year rhythms. Additional titles address midlife transformation, aging, and the interplay between destiny and freedom. Practical guides for biography counselors sit alongside autobiographical studies.
