This book shows approaches in handling psychological conflicts that prevent one's capacity to live more fully and have more meaningful relationships, and which also prevents the deepening of one's spiritual practices. Through detailed descriptions of proven procedures, the reader will find in this book approaches towards the elimination of fears, resentments, hatreds, depression, worries, traumas, and stress in daily living. Using awareness as its basic tool, the process not only effectively deals with emotional and physical distresses, but mental difficulties that obstruct meditation and the pursuit of spiritual practices. What makes this book unique is the author's case studies and step-by-step instructions, which allow readers to examine their own self-conditioning, enabling them to expand their own awareness, which in turn leads to a new direction in their physical, emotional, and psychological health and well-being. The Quest Each aspect contains exercises that the reader can do and explore. The book also discusses the implications of these approaches on education, social peace, parenting and youth development.

Het boek behandeld op een gemakkelijk leesbare manier het onderwerp van 'zelf-transformatie'. Nochtans zijn de gedeelten die bedoeld zijn voor groepsinitiatieven minder interessant voor mij. Maar voor eventuele therapeuten is dit dan wel handig. Uiteraard is het nu de kwestie om de voorgestelde manieren blijvend op te volgen. Maar dat zie ik wel positief tegemoet.
