Abstract
Abstract:
Alfred Adler proposed three life tasks—love (intimacy), work, and friendship (a social task). Mosak and Dreikurs postulated the fourth and fifth life tasks. The author suggests that the tasks added by Mosak and Dreikurs may be better interpreted as existential challenges that transcend social context and present what humans may hope for as their legacy.
