Read this book and your life will change for the better, irrespective of who, how, and what you are or were. I know of no other book or combination of books where you can learn and come to understand what you will in this one. It will help you:

· if you are feeling angry, frustrated, helpless, low self-esteem, anxiety, disgust, contempt, rejection, helplessness, loneliness, or
· if you are having relationship problems with a spouse, a mate, children, co-workers, subordinates, higher management, or any organization member, or
· if you are a parent, teacher, preacher, counselor, executive, manager, supervisor, psychotherapist, psychologist, or a leader in any kind of organization, or
· if you are a scholar or student merely wanting to learn and understand more about human emotions and behavior.

Negative desires, beliefs and emotions cause stress. Stress kills, albeit slowly, but as surely as with a gun. Stress affects emotional, physical and spiritual health. It interferes with family, work, social, and intimate relationships and with decision-making. It affects mind, body, and spirit.

Hundreds in therapy have come to understand and believe what is presented herein. Their lives changed significantly for the better, some dramatically. Early readers of the manuscript have benefited significantly.

This book helps resolve emotional problems for those of you who are or have been abused sexually, emotionally, or physically, or abandoned in childhood. The whole world can seem better and brighter.

At times, conflicting desires, beliefs, and related emotions rise from the unconscious mind simultaneously as if multiplexed. "I want to and don't want to." “I want to stand up and speak, but I don’t want to because I fear criticism. "I love you, but I hate you." Conflicting desires and beliefs, about which we feel the best, drive and inhibit our behavior. You will come to understand the development of inner conflicts. This will help you rid yourself of the negative sides of the conflicting beliefs.

Finally, the Appendices contain detailed instructions and affirmations for making your own personalized self-help tapes for deep relaxation and for the resolution of anger and low self-esteem, for promoting healing and wellness, and to stop smoking. Help is a few clicks away. Start now, for you, and for those about whom you care.
