Celebrate the joy of finding a new way to understand yourself and others using the wisdom of the ancients and your natural ability for compassion. "In the pages of The Missing Element: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition, author and clinical psychologist Debra Silverman describes human nature in a compassionate and succinct way. Everyone longs to be understood and The Missing Element offers ways for us to get to know ourselves in depth with the wisdom of archetypes. The information comprising The Missing Element stands on the shoulders of our elders, who understood the four directions, the four elements, the four noble truths. Whatever pain you experience is specific to your personality type, based on the four elements. Your issues will repeat themselves again and again until you can see yourself and others from the compassionate vantage point that unites all of us. You will understand that your life and all its stories were designed by your soul to get your attention right now. It is inviting you to seek the wisdom of the ages to help you grow. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, The Missing Element is an extraordinarily informed and informative read from beginning to end. As thoughtful and thought-provoking as it is insightful and potentially life-changing, The Missing Element is very highly recommended for personal and community library Self-Help/Self-Improvement instructional reference collections."
