WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

I truly know from my own personal experiences, as well as my professional work as a psychotherapist for over 50 years, that understanding and utilizing these principles can free humanity from internal conflict and make this world a freer ,happier, joyful, creative place for all to live in and share. To reduce human suffering the cultural confusion and societal chaos that we presently live in.
About the Book

From the Pages of Your Feelings Are Your Compass
"The function of a feeling is to expand consciousness of self and situation so that out of that deeper understanding and clarity there can be a more effective and right response taking place."
"Worry is a story of how we don’t want something to be in the imagined future. Its function is to bring us back to the reality of the present so we can determine how we want things to be."
