De la contraportada

Roberto Assagioli is one of the giants in the realm of psychology and consciousness expansion. His most famous contribution to human understanding was psychosynthesis, a comprehensive approach to self-realisation which combines a convincing theory of human psychology with a practical therapy to achieve one's full potential. However, this theory evolved out of 50 years' psychospiritual reflections, which comprise a huge body of work. The gems of this rich collection are presented here for the first time. Part 1 describes the reality of the superconscious; Part 2 delves into the problems and difficulties of the spiritual path; Part 3 deals with the everyday applications of those insights.

The inspiring message of this book is that transpersonal development is not just for the exceptional few but possible for everybody, and the author gives practical guidelines to help people achieve this goal. He presents a vision of the integration of the cultural, scientific, and human aspects which can give birth to a new humanity.
