What if there were parts of our minds which we never use, but if awakened, could make us so much happier, connected and alive? What if awakening those parts could finally solve the conflicts and sufferings we all go through?
From the cutting edge, where therapy meets neuroscience, world-renowned author, psychotherapist and educator Steve Biddulph shows us how to reach into the deep feelings beneath our feelings, and how doing so can guide us to a more awake and free way of living every minute of our lives.
In Fully Human, Steve Biddulph guides us through the four-storey mansion of our unexplored mind, with tips on how to open each level up to the sunlight, allowing us to live equally in all its beautiful rooms.
Drawing on deeply personal stories from his own life, as well as those of his clients, and from the frontiers of thinking about how the brain works with the body, this culmination of a life’s work uncovers how we can all be more alive, more connected.
Ah man, this was another book I found incredibly hard to review, and I am still struggling with my star rating. The theory, drawn from the author’s incredible four decades of learning and experience, is on point.
I’ve had this book for a very long time since being given the review copy and returned to it many times. What I’m finding difficult is how practical its application is for each and every person, in every walk of life and situation. Having spent so long reading and rereading, I just don’t think it’s completely feasible.
To sum up: Fully Human may support you to feel more in touch with your feelings, but perhaps we’re not all destined to reach the top floor.
Thanks to Bluebird Books and Steve Biddulph for the ARC provided via NetGallet; this is my unbiased review.
