How are you supposed to know how to work with yourself when you don’t know yourself?

This, of course, is not a new question.

“Know Thyself?” If I knew myself, I’d run away. Goethe

But still, what would your life be like today if you had had someone teach you about how to know yourself and understand yourself? The clients I work with come in struggling not only with wounds and life problems, but also with a profound lack of skill at how to fix themselves.

OK, fix themselves seems too mechanical, but most don’t seem to know how to even begin to solve their dilemmas, unhappiness, or stuck places.

Not only is there a felt inability to solve problems, there is also a felt ignorance, ineptitude, and anxiety about looking inside to begin to figure things out.

How can we fix the car if we won’t even open up the hood! And if I’m anxious about what I’ll find or think it’s futile is it any wonder why so many don’t bother.

However, the consequences of self ignorance are many and devastating. Lack of vital information leaves one destined to repeat painful mistakes and perpetrate hurt on those around us, especially those we love.

Why wouldn’t people want to take steps to finding a better life and increased happiness. It may take work and may not always be easy, but I don’t think people are inherently lazy.

Hence, again, the purpose of this book.

The first purpose of this book is to consistently encourage and cheerlead the path of increasing self awareness and waking up.

The second purpose of this book is to give a fairly simple guide to your interior.

What I call this is giving you a road map of your insides with a set of operating instructions.

My hope is that having a map will make approaching yourself and becoming your own expert more appealing and easy.

Make you more willing to open up the hood and even be able to diagnose yourself, tune yourself up and with help give yourself a major overhaul.
