by N. S. Xavier (Author)
This groundbreaking work shows how living by real conscience reduces much suffering and promotes fulfillment. With originality and depth, it distinguishes between the real conscience (which uses reason and the Golden Rule in making choices) and the socially programmed "superego" which deviates from conscience. It provides a good perspective on fulfilling our needs (like pleasure and meaning) with conscience and preventing feelings of superegos from causing various problems including addictions, disorders, extremism and violence. Quite timely, it promotes peace and well-being in individuals, couples, and countries faced with conflicts, deep crises, and great opportunities for transformation.
