“Self-help” may be one of the most popular book genres today, with bookstore shelves overloaded with myriad volumes of advice for fixing everything that worries, angers, or frustrates us. But here is a new approach to the age-old desire to solve our personal problems. Instead of taking advice from a stranger, from an author who doesn’t know us, here, in The Self-Inquiry Process: Using Powerful Questions to Awaken Awareness, by integral psychotherapist and energy healer Linda Brierty, new from Cosimo, we learn how to get to know ourselves — and so help ourselves — better than we ever have before.

The Self-Inquiry Process is experiential in nature. With its guidance, you will embark on a process of introspection that will increase your self-awareness and bring your unconscious into consciousness. While other “self-help” books claim to have the answers, this ones asks the questions. It introduces a unique framework with which to understand yourself, and goes on to ask direct questions, some quite challenging, some provocative, others simple and to the point. The questions reveal the sources of suffering that can hinder our everyday experience. Other questions point the way to fulfillment and joy. Each question in the book can take you deeper into relationship with your own Self, and closer to the Self-love that makes so many things possible, including loving others and the world.

The Self-Inquiry Process is available at Amazon.com and from other online booksellers.
