Anne Lamott experiences her inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by her involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Annie Lamott is relatively extroverted and leads a life which is open to the outside world. Her personal consciousness is forged by the heat of outer events. She is inclined to adopt the most objective viewpoint possible to be pragmatic and perhaps even materialistic.

Annie Lamott writes:
While you contribute to important social causes or collective ideals, you tend to keep your individual identity intact. For this reason, although you may become personally involved in social affairs, you are likely to resist any project you will be unable to lead yourself, according to the dictates of your own individual direction. You tend to identify yourself with an activity with social implications and attempt to know yourself through this activity.

Anne Lamott is endowed with great authenticity and can be quite generous, as long as Anne Lamott is aware that others admire Anne Lamott.

You struggle to get into natural harmony with the physical world and the limitations and restraints it places upon you. Idealistic, you tend to be somewhat disconnected from practical considerations, and barely pay any attention to material things like food, money, your surroundings, and so on. You tend to be footloose and fancy-free, oblivious to the necessities of survival in the physical world, until your lack of material resources – an issue to which you usually grant no importance – becomes an emergency. This feeling of being out of touch with material things and the physical dimension of reality may sometimes lead you to see yourself as unfit for this world. You may think you cannot attach yourself to anything that would sustain your efforts at self-expression. However, your impractical nature offers many positive aspects. You see life’s possibilities as limitless. You are apt to develop your imagination or pursue a spiritual quest in order to transcend the material world.
