Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

What is called "character" or "nature" is a mixture of different personalities, an "inner family" - each with its own life story, emotions and philosophy, and each takes its turn pulling a person's strings. The "inner critic", for example, tells us we're not good enough, while our "pleaser" will make us do anything to keep others happy, even though our "warrior" is ready to confront anyone. By becoming aware of these often hidden personalities, and understand their influence, the reader can work towards achieving inner harmony. Becoming more comfortable with any parts of the self that may have been condemned as "bad" or "ugly", there will also be less of an inclination to feel threatened or judgmental when these traits are observed in others. Using some of the techniques and theories of psychotherapy, this book shows readers how to begin to explore their inner selves and learn to pull their own strings. It addresses guilt and self-criticism - elements which adversely effect many individuals. Other works by Louis Proto include "Coming Alive" and "Take Charge of Your Life".
