Sacred Selfishness: A Guide to Living a Life of Substance - Paperback

by Bud Harris (Author)

During these troubled times this classic book guides us to our inner foundations for living with courage, love, and purpose. This foundation of personal healing and wholeness is necessary for us to link our own good to that of our society, and to become active and informed participants in our own lives and the life around us.

Jungian Analyst Bud Harris provides compassionate guidance to:

• Discover what true self-love and self-forgiveness mean.
• Value ourselves and live meaningful lives we love.
• Develop into authentic human beings who give back vitality and hope to all around us.
• Have lives of our own, and be able to love others without losing ourselves.
• Resolve problems in modern life such as unhappy relationships, stagnating career, financial issues, and even weight problems.

Using strategies such as analyzing dreams, developing inner dialogue, and keeping a detailed journal, Sacred Selfishness wisely assures us that our lives are sacred tasks, where holiness is love and the way to the Divine is through self-knowledge.

While growing up, unselfishness was usually defined as putting the needs of others above our own. As a result, we became outward-directed people, cut off from our inner source of energy and vitality. If we have failed, through the years, to develop our own individuality, eventually we may slide into depression and ill health. It is only after becoming whole again that we can help others and truly renew our society. This is the path of sacred selfishness.
