The Inner Self How can I get in touch with this real self, underlying all my surface behaviour? How can I become myself? Carl Rogers, US psychotherapist
The Inner Self is a book about the ways we hide from the truth about ourselves and the psychological freedom we enjoy when we finally face that most searching question of all: Who am I, really?
Hugh Mackay explores our top 20 hiding places - from addiction to materialism, nostalgia to victimhood. He explains how it is our fear of love s demands that drive us into hiding.
He argues that love is our highest ideal, the richest source of life s meaning and purpose, and the key to our emotional security, personal serenity and confidence.
