All material is carefully chosen, edited, and coordinated to ensure its accessibility to readers of all levels. The result is a presentation that is engaging, provocative, and fun. There are four main sections divided into twelve chapters held together by a common thread: analysis and exploration of concepts and dimensions of the Self.
