How do you define personal growth? How would you appraise all the options offering a route to personal growth, so as to choose what is truly beneficial to you? In Search For Your Self, Patricia Sherwood sets out to do just that: to define the boundaries of healthy personal growth, specifically to help you make insightful decisions when choosing which therapies and methods to go for. Her approach is based on psychological theories and research as well as Rudolf Steiner's holistic model of the human being and the thresholds of consciousness. She begins with processes focused on the body, then on the inner mental and emotional life, and finally on options focusing on higher levels of consciousness; so we venture through the routes of body, counselling, guru, psychics, guides, shamanism, drugs and meditation. Search For Your Self is both a practical guide and an informative assessment of the 'self help' field.
