5.0 out of 5 stars An Xmas present to one's Self - Self directed of course!, 18 Jan 2008
By D. O'Halloran "Frisky Dirt" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An enlightened slant on how we think, or more accurately How We Will. "I will, therefore I am" anyone? Since what Assagioli is proposing is a wider perspective in viewing matters of volition, that adheres to his theory of Psychosynthesis. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part outlines in detail the fundamental aspects of the will: strong, good and skillfull, and also more esoterically, transpersonal and universal will. The second part, is a step-by-step guide in the art of decision-making, which I found thoroughly practical, and incredibly wise, if at moments requiring more focus and application, than the leisurely pace of part 1: "The immense number of actions that are impulsively performed by human beings with no consideration of the consequences is appalling. This is because, in reality, few really think. Thinking is uncomfortable and tiring; it demands concentration, and this requires a persistent use of the will. Moreover, the outcome of such thinking may unpleasantly conflict with some of our inclinations and drives. Hence, the fundamental importance, indeed the necessity of learning to think properly, to reflect and to meditate." Assagioli makes the profundity of his psychosynthetic insights very pragmatical (almost business-like) which I did not expect before reading this book, and the scope for its philosophical application in many fields of human enquiry is considerate.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to really start making progress, while getting to know yourself..(!), 19 April 2006
By Torbjrn L. Jensen - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Underestimated! But not for long. Thats my prophesy..

In psykosynthesis, the will is the faculty of our nature that is "closest" to our true nature. Thus; why not make it our buisness to study it? Would be pretty intelligent.. no?

In this book, Assagioli defines the four aspects of the will. And he also teaches how to make progress counciously, and purposefully using our will. Thus enhancing our life.

If you can see the value then wait no longer! If you cant, then i am sorry for you. Not!:)
