In the field of career development, Integrative Life Planning is a landmark book that recognizes the radical shifts in today's lifestyles and workplaces and offers a holistic counseling approach that joins career planning with the life path of an individual. Written by L. Sunny Hansen—a pioneer in career development—this important resource details her highly regarded concept of integrative life planning (ILP). As the book reveals, using the ILP framework enables career professionals, counselors, and their clients to develop career and life patterns that are holistic and focused on both individual satisfaction and community benefit. Integrative Life Planning provides an analysis of Hansen's revolutionary ILP concept that is anchored in an interdisciplinary framework of six critical tasks: finding work that needs doing in changing global contexts; weaving our lives into a meaningful whole, connecting family and work; valuing pluralism and inclusivity, exploring spirituality and life purpose; and managing personal transitions and organizational change. The book offers a wealth of ideas and information on each of the critical tasks as well as illustrative strategies and career interventions that can be used or adapted when implementing the ILP concept. ILP is an ideal approach for dealing with changes in work, family, learning, and society. Using a quilt metaphor, it integrates many aspects of individuals, families, and organizations including both the personal and the professional. In this pioneering work, the author advocates for people to make life choices and decisions consistent with the changes of a dynamic global society. The ILP concept takes into account self-satisfaction and the common good; personal accomplishment and community benefit. Hansen argues persuasively that this global approach can lead to more meaningful lives, more humane relationships, and a more caring society.

Career development - the processes that shape a person's career over his or her life - is a relatively new field of research in applied psychology. In A Quality of Life Approach to Career Development, Geoffrey S. Peruniak draws from philosophy, sociology, literature, anthropology, psychology, political science, and economics to form a new, holistic approach to career development that extends beyond paid work to include all aspects of life. Emphasizing that a person is a whole entity rather than a role or category, Peruniak also explores nature and the place of community in relation to career development theories. A highly original text with broad theoretical appeal to several disciplines, A Quality of Life Approach to Career Development also includes exercises and case studies. Most importantly, this book provides a new approach that will complement more specialized methods and serve as a foundation for further study in the field.

A Clear and Certain Future: An Integrated Life Planning Process bridges the gap between the need to set goals and the need to stick to those goals. It teaches readers how to find out what they want to do, be and have before changing their lives. Whether individuals are making decisions for themselves, or are assisting others as they plan some aspect of their lives, A Clear and Certain Future provides a framework to make informed decisions. Using dozens of examples and exercises, this book offers step-by-step advice to combine all the elements of life into an integrated whole. Included in A Clear and Certain Future are four new tools specifically developed to accomplish this task. The first tool and the foundation of the book, is the two-part goal setting process. It simplifies goal setting by dividing it into two parts-problem solving and decision-making. The process starts with the individual's daily activities, progresses through the goal setting process and ends with their unwritten mission in life. The second tool is a set of ten keys. The ten Keys to a Balanced Life classify all the items that are on an individual's someday list into the ten key areas of human endeavor. The third tool helps readers find their ideal occupation. For the purpose of the My Ideal Occupation tool, an occupation is what they do to occupy their time, paid or unpaid, regardless of their age or stage of their life. The fourth tool is Two Why's to discover the readers' motives. Once they know what their motives are, they will have a clear vision of why they do the things they do and will be certain of why they want to do them. Sprinkled throughout the text are Reality Checks to reinforce the key ideas that have been presented.
