A dear friend told me about a wonderful free eBook, Human Becoming – By David Richo, PhD.
The eBook is a collection of excerpts from several of Dr. Richo’s other books, including The Power of Coincidence: How Life Shows Us What We Need To Know and When Love Meets Fear .
The introduction to Human Becoming has a promising and refreshing start:
There is a grace-full force in us and in the universe. It is a lively energy that is always at work so that we will become fully human. To be fully human is to be as loving as we can be, as free of ego fear and clinging, and as generous as we can be with our innate gifts and talents. This takes psychological work on ourselves and a spiritual practice. When we are committed to such a program, we feel joy and self-respect because we are fulfilling our deepest purpose in life.
In this booklet I present a collection of excerpts from my books and manuscripts. I chose passages that present practical steps we can take to grow in self-respect and compassionate relating and thereby become more richly human.
David Richo, PhD. – From Human Becoming
This collection is rich with deep insight, clearly explained principles and concrete, practical, transformative exercises. Dr. Richo presents insights in contexts you already understand at a deep level through myth and symbolism, such that your learning feels like effortless elucidation of knowledge already within you rather than an imposition of someone else’s reasoning from without.
If you are interested in the transformation of yourself and your inner and outer experience, I highly recommend this incredibly rich resource.
