Product Description

Product Description

This guide reveals how the logical thinking part of us, the adult, often becomes estranged from the the instinctual part that gives rise to intensity and emotions, the child. The authors explain how this fragmentation creates inner tensions that both undercut a person's ability to gain happiness and lead to loneliness and emptiness, addiction and co-dependency. It outlines a self-healing process that can be used everyday to restore a balance between the "adult and child".

Format:Paperback
I agree with the previous reviewer: I wander why this book is no bestseller. I own the German translation and gave a copy to a friend in Austria which started a chain reaction, 2 weeks later 10 friends were reading the book, and everyone was enthusiastic about it.

Basically the book is about how to find a healthy balance between your emotional/unconscious/spontaneous side and your rational/conscious/responsible side. You imagine your rational side as the inner adult, your emotional side (unconscious, body, emotions, wishes, intuition, creativity) as the inner child. The adult has to learn to listen to the child instead of shouting it down. But the rule is not left to the child, it is the adult who makes the decisions. Once a good relation between adult and child has been established, the specific qualities of the inner child are not experienced as unwanted interference anymore, but they can become an abundant source of inspiration and happiness.

The symbolic inner adult-child relation is strongly shaped by the real adult-child relation we have experienced in our childhood. So the authors analyse common patterns of non-loving adult-child relations and outline what a loving adult-child relation would be like. This helps you to understand where your rationality and emotions work against each other instead of together, and how you can correct that.

This approach makes common sense, and it is presented in a very clear and down to earth way, you can really work with this concept.

Format:Paperback
I am only a few chapters into this book, which I began casually reading one day when I was bored. I didn't expect that it would completely change my perspective about so many things. Granted, it can be a somewhat confusing read and I have had to read some sections more than once to digest them, but the premise makes so much sense. For anyone who wasn't properly parented as a child or who has experienced some form of trauma, however large or small, which has influenced their adult lives should read this book. You will see things from a different perspective and will realise that all your defences and beliefs are the result of your ego, or disconnected inner child and loving adult. Yes, it sounds a little cheesy but it's not, I highly recommend this to anyone who had a less than picture perfect childhood.
