Overview
How do you wish to live?
The choices we make are significantly affected by how we view ourselves—our identity—and how we feel about what we see—our self-esteem. If we can change the way we see ourselves, we can change the way we interact with others and the choices we make, helping us to live compassionately and achieve spiritual well-being.
Weaving anecdotes from his counseling career with stories from the Hebrew Bible and Jewish wisdom literature, Dr. Twerski illustrates the Jewish tradition's enduring freshness and vitality for initiating self-actualization and personal improvement to help you:
•Form an accurate self-image and overcome low self-esteem
•Control pride and other destructive instincts and impulses
•Create and maintain healthy and loving relationships
•Manage grief, healing your body and spirit
•Learn to trust and enhance personal happiness
•Cope with despair and find hope
•Repair the world by improving yourself
"A treat for the spirit as well as the mind, the book that every life coach wished they had written to help you set goals and the way to get there. Introduces us to the nexus of modern psychiatry, deep spiritual learning, and insights from everyday life, aided by the gentle, accessible voice of the author."
