being human is just so beastly...
Your average human being is a little bit crazy. People are in an endless match to tame their neuroses. We try so hard to wrestle such unhealthy urges as envy, self-doubt, and obsessing over seemingly trite matters into submission.
The Alphabet of Inner Demons offers a playful and compassionate look at the messier dimensions of the personality, offering a means to balance these complex dimensions and to gently bring them under control.
Many people have an intuitive appreciation that they possess such qualities, but never fully confront them in a meaningful and mature manner, instead struggling with partial, ineffective and often unhealthy compromises.
The Alphabet of Inner Demons is a work of positive psychology and imaginative psychology. It names and describes 26 inner demons (one for each letter of the alphabet) that relate to energies such as worry, narcissism, defeatism, materialism, etc. Each demon is described at its worst, but also with the potential for integrating its energies to serve you in healthy ways.
The identification of these patterns as unique beings distinguishes the thought pattern from your awareness of self, so you can choose how these patterns show up in your life. Each demon is colorfully illustrated as an anthropomorphic animal or animalized human, providing visual recognition, as well as adding to the entertainment and artistic value of the book.
The Alphabet of Inner Demons turns the messiest dimensions of being human into an insightful and exciting adventure. It is a serious self-help book coached in a light format, providing entertainment while pointing you in new directions for growth and discovery.
Rather than life being fulfilling when self-realization, self-healing or mastery is attained, this book teaches that your journey itself is fun and rewarding.
