Publisher Review: One of the primary problems is that we've forgotten who we really are. We think we are defined by our accomplishments, our mistakes, our addictions, and our limitations. But we are much more than our outward appearances. Marianne tells us, and we must change our perceptions of ourselves - and others - in order to achieve the inner peace and happiness we all seek.
Growth is messy, says Marianne, but we should welcome the upheaval that change engenders because the situaions that bring out the worst in us are the only ones that can heal us. And as we heal the world around us - which at times can seem so dark and terrifying - is healed as well. Once we've trained our minds to percieve ourselves differently, our whole world view will be transformed as well.
I found this tape to be insightful and influential. Her ideas brought a sense of peace into my life.
