A savvy and practical New Age healer focuses on the inner wounds that begin in childhood, highlighting feelings of "imposterhood" and the destructive effects of "drama addiction" on one's life. 20,000 first printing. Tour.

The most salient points in Fisher's book have little to do with self-mastery, focusing instead on larger social issues. Her advice? Take most of the "magical realist" tenants of the New Age movement with a grain of salt and instead seek self-determination; understand that AIDS cannot be conquered by donning rose-colored glasses but by adequate research, social support for those afflicted, and a general acceptance of gays. Managing a tone of elegance and earthiness, her advice--although not striking for its originality--hits few false notes and therefore serves as both a good overview and a caveat for those delving into New Age and self-help literature. Unfortunately, the book purports to offer advice on abandoning "false" selves--personas constructed as defense mechanisms from early family dysfunction--and in this arena the author is far better at identifying problems than conveying concrete behavioral solutions. She also features imagery exercises that might be better conveyed on audio tape. Recommended for popular collections.
