This guide reveals how the logical thinking part of us, the adult, often becomes estranged from the the instinctual part that gives rise to intensity and emotions, the child. The authors explain how this fragmentation creates inner tensions that both undercut a person's ability to gain happiness and lead to loneliness and emptiness, addiction and co-dependency. It outlines a self-healing process that can be used everyday to restore a balance between the "adult and child".
