The article considers a new definition of man’s life path as a reality inherent to a definite subject formed by him/herself (or other people) under the influence of natural, social, and spiritual environment. At the same time the man’s life path consists of (or is divided into) three stages: prolife, life and post periods which are defined by the main events in man’s being: birth and death. Peculiarities of each stage in the human being are analyzed.
