Description

This book examines how we create a persistent alienation from ourselves, from others, and from the world by fracturing our present experience into different parts, separated by boundaries. We artificially split our awareness into compartments such as subject vs. object, life vs. death, mind vs. body, inside vs.. outside, reason vs. instinct…The result of such violence, although known by many other names, is simply unhappiness. Life becomes suffering, full of battles. But all our battles in our experience – our conflicts, anxieties, sufferings, and despairs – are created by the boundaries we misguidingly throw around our experience.For the general reader, then, this book will provide a personal introduction to the major methods of growth and transformation–from egoic to humanistic to transpersonal–and will show how these approaches are related to each other.My opinion:The best book I read this year so far. If you are interested in working though anxiety and fear. If you like the AMP guys work. If you would like to be able to feel more alive in your body. You will love this book
