Overview

This is a completely revised new edition based on the original book A Manual For Life; for those familiar with the previous volume, you will find this book more readable, and much expanded to include considerable amounts of new information.

This book is a carefully written synthesis of idea systems and perspectives that provide humanistic approaches to personal and professional development. Practical and thought provoking, this book challenges the reader to assess, ponder, consider, and arrive at more thoroughly established personal beliefs. A partial list of topics includes: boundaries, anger, anxiety, guilt and shame, strength and power, self esteem, entitlement, transference, objectification, morality, sexuality, intimacy, relationships, loving, energy, western and eastern medicine, the helping relationship, allergies, therapy and education, and creation centered spirituality.

Editorials

Gerry Fewster

In the work of their own lives, Wong and McKeen have simply moved beyond the tedious debates that have separated the various schools of thought. Through their courage to confront the 'isness' of their own experience they have detached themselves from the closed world views of philosophical prescriptions and, in their commitment to the integrity of their own truth, they have avoided the 'rightness' and 'wrongness' of academic psychologizing. Above all, within their own relationship, they have created a living experimental laboratory with standards of discipline and rigor capable of intimidating even the most zealous scientist practitioner.
