They are, in fact, an artificial construction of the modern world.

For most of us, the major questions of life continue to perplex: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live?

Others - the death of a parent, an empty nest, a divorce - will be deeply painful. In both cases, crossing the threshold between a "room" in one's life that feels comfortable and familiar and one that feels uncertain and unpredictable can be scary. Hirsch believes that the decisions we make at these transitional moments define who we are and the lives we create for ourselves.
