Rediscovering Who You Really Are : The Five Pillars of Self-Realization

Rediscovering Who You Really Are The Five Pillars of Well-being Many decades as a non profit organization CEO, human service industry leader and psychotherapist have led me to the understanding that there are five critical aspects of selfhood (pillars) that largely determine the quality of peoples' lives. The book guides the reader through a self-directed journey of rediscovery of their pillars including methods for reconstituting those that have compromising influence. The five pillars represent a novel paradigm because they have never been collectively identified in the psychotherapeutic literature as having such monumental implications for determining the quality of the life experience. Many self-development books emphasize self-affirmation, positive thinking, goal directed intention and other aspects of positive self-regard. Although well-intentioned and offering considerable value, these approaches typically provide splintered outcomes because they address more constricted versions of experience. In contrast, this book focuses on the core foundational aspects of the human condition that sponsor well-being which are ultimately expressed in the eight dimensions of life experience. These are the spiritual, affective, temporal, social, cognitive, sensory, physical and behavioral dimensions. The pillars have been the central therapeutic agents for advancing the healing and well-being of thousands of participants in my organization. I wrote the book to make the same opportunity available for other people seeking to optimize their lives. The people who will be inclined to read this book include (1) those already experienced with self-development and who wish to extend it even further, (2) those not experienced with self-development but who want to improve their lives and, (3) psychotherapists who seek to advance success and curative outcomes for their patients. The writing style is engaging and motivational. Readers will be challenged and inspired as they come face to face with the amazing aspects of themselves that they knew were there but were never fully understood. This rediscovery opens up unlimited opportunity for expanding happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment and meaning as well as offsetting the unprecedented increase in contemporary symptoms including anxiety, depression, loneliness, addiction and low self-esteem that compromise so many peoples' lives.
