Psychosynthesis is like a WikiLeaks to the personality.
It is very important book for everyone to understand our life journay, its meaning for us, our surroundings and for the Planet. When we find our deep core (identity), we find integrity with others and beautiful pattern of a whole, being interconnected with many individuals, shining their uniqueness like a diamont, having many edges.
Will does a very nice job summarising the core aspects of Psychosynthesis, and then reaching further and deeper, peeping through the wall of silence and into the esoteric roots of this beautiful therapeutic and educational modality. A stepping stone into luminosity.
I love this book. With a clear outline of psychosynthesis, it is both pragmatic and inspirational.
Psychosynthesis: The Elements and Beyond is a gem of a book. Being so clearly written, it is ideal reading for those seeking to help themselves and also, for therapists who want to develop their understanding of psychological concepts and to include spiritual aspects. As an integrative psychosynthesis psychotherapist with over twenty years experience, I still find Will Parfitt's rendition of Assagioli's ideas the most succinct and inspiring.
This book is written with clarity, breadth of vision, and gentle humour.
I found it easily applicable and relevant to everyday life, consistent and practical in its teaching, and at the same time imaginative and creative. An extremely profound subject, made clear and understandable.
Psychosynthesis is an amazing tool for self-growth. Will Parfitt does a wonderful job of breaking down the system into easy to digest bites so that the tools can be understood and applied. I found the book very helpful.
