Go Within to Change your Life – A Hidden Wisdom Workbook for Personal Transformation

The author is a retired clinical psychologist, Jungian analyst, businessman, and shamanic practitioner, and here he brings together a comprehensive range of transformational techniques to apply on our journey through life. It is effectively a distillation of 60 years of work and practice, accurately described in the book's subtitle. The first part is about learning to access your hidden wisdom, the second a practical guide to making changes, and the third spells out transformations with respect to spirituality, health and mortality. The book contains not only practical exercises, but also many opportunities for journaling along the way. The author points out that the benefits from the book are directly related to the amount of effort expended – hence the need for personal accountability. He covers archetypes, dreams, transforming your stories, knowing your values, initiating new habits, resolving conflicts, resilience in the face of what he calls suddenlies, health and healing, and finally contemplating your life and mortality. It is important for all of us to engage our hidden wisdom and to work consciously to actualise our full potential in the service of the whole to which our personal healing can make a critical contribution. Highly recommended.
