"BLESS HER... THIS WONDERFUL BOOK TEACHES US HOW TO BE WINNERS IN LIFE'S STRUGGLE." -- Bernie Siegel, M.D. GUILT. It is the self-defeating inner voice that calls forth the lost, fearful child within each of us. And it is the relentless, accusing voice of blame with which we punish our most childlike selves...for our failed relationships, our disappointing careers, and even our illnesses. Still, although guilt has become a profoundly destructive part of the "human condition," it need not become a part of yours. In the same spirit of healing that made her first book a landmark bestseller, Dr. Joan Borysenko reaches out to heal us, heart and soul. And in this life-affirming book, she frees the child within us from shame in all its guises: from the fear of success to the fear of failure; from alcoholism and workaholism to pessimism, bitterness, and hostility. A BRILLIANT SYNTHESIS OF ANCIENT WISDOM AND MODERN SCIENCE... SHOWS US HOW TO HARNESS THE POWER OF STATEOF-THE-ART SOLUTIONS TO COPE WITH OLD PROBLEMS AND ANCIENT WISDOM TO BEGIN HEALING NEW ONES." -- Dean Ornish, M.D., President and Director The Preventive Medicine Research Institute University of California, San Francisco A WONDERFULLY WISE, WARM INSIGHTFUL BOOK.
