Indiana Boy: Memoir of a Psychologist is a refreshingly candid account of one's search for inner peace and a life of meaning amid a world of personal struggles, social change, and political upheaval. Born and raised in a small Midwestern town, Ken Starkey would live through the divorce of his parents, poverty, feelings of self-doubt, loneliness, shame, and despair--even his own bout with depression. His trials would lead him to venture forth from the rather sheltered life of south central Indiana and to his undertaking a journey of self-discovery that would forever change his life. Along the way, he'd discover a host of "teachers" who'd share with him their knowledge, insight, and wisdom. And his journey would result in a questioning of all those values by which he had been raised and that had once shaped his life. He would learn to confront worldly attitudes of entitlement, materialism, greed, envy, and selfishness, and he'd examine the purpose of those institutions of family, marriage, school, church, and even government. In hopes of alleviating the pain and suffering of others, he would become a clinical psychologist. Finally, this Indiana boy would learn how inner peace and meaning might be discovered through a life based on spiritual mindfulness, love, and service to others.
