While healing is critically important, this work by David Ziegler explores ways of moving beyond healing in order to experience a truly fulfilling life. It takes a close, critical look at many of our beliefs about human limitations, and offers a message of hope for those individuals who have paid a high price for past abuse and trauma, and hope for the possibility of reaching human potential. Dr. Ziegler looks at the choices we all make and the power of these choices; the importance of our connectedness with others; the role of the spirit in the life of the indiviidual; and some ideas for living: setting goals, developing the skills, and then having the discipline to live a life that brings with it personal contentment.
