Opening: A Primer for Self-Actualization

"This book is about how to remove the filters that prevent us from living more open, actualizing lives. It is not a recipe book for encounter. It is a private book intended for independent growth as opposed to the dependent growth strategies of group techniques. You do not need to have flashes of all-encompassing enlightenment or expensive therapists. This book is about the way to turn everyday lifew into a constantly present resource for personal growth. "Becoming an open person isn't easy. There are hundreds of mechanisms in our lives that plead and demand a safe level of sameness. Hopefully, this book will help you achieve the reality of openness, of self-actualization. It is about learning to have both the courage to reach and the vision to grow." --- Except from book's Preface on back cover
