Synopsis

Who are you? A resume of activities and accomplishments? A directory of business and personal contacts? The realizations that transform you into the person it is your destiny to become are the result of introspection and hard-earned personal growth. Getting to really know who you are isn’t easy.

There are few practical resources, instruction manuals, work plans, or study guides available for people seeking deeper meaning in their lives. The tools for change developed by cognitive and behavioral science can provide you with the means of directing your thoughts, feelings, and actions toward your spiritual awakening.

The strategies in this book are not a replacement for the great traditions of spirituality that you’ve been familiar with since childhood; they are not intended, in fact, to provide spiritual advice at all. Rather, they are aimed at boosting your strength and resolve to explore your spirituality. This book liberates psychology from confinement in the secular sciences and creates a powerful synergy between cognition, behavioral study, and metaphysical exploration.
