Publisher's summary

This is the holy grail of self-help books! If you are looking for a book to motivate you and re-inspire you, and are yearning for a life-changing personal transformation, this book is for you!

The Inner Work will take you on a hero’s journey through the uncharted depths of your subconscious mind to understand your shadows and unlock the greatness of your full potential. Through the uprooting of limiting beliefs and transcendence of themes of consciousness that perpetuate suffering, true freedom and lasting happiness will finally be revealed. By process of radical self-analysis and a practical three-step method, The Inner Work invites you to let go of your struggle with life. If you are a human, and you want to be happy, this book is for you.

This is a spiritual book that draws from many ancient wisdom traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, yoga philosophy, and more. All are welcome!

What you will learn:

• How to recognize and heal limiting beliefs rooted in unhealed trauma
• How to identify where you are at on the ladder of consciousness and how to move on and upward
• How to change and improve your mindset in order to optimize every aspect of your life
• How to identify and heal shadow tendencies and wounds of your inner child
• How to practice presence and meditation for improved quality of life
• How to forgive, let go, and have compassion for yourself and others

In today’s self-help and spiritual community, millions of people are jumping on the “manifesting” train and are eager to master the skills of positive thinking as a “one size fits all” solution for any and all of life's problems. However, one person’s medicine may be another person’s poison as every one of us is just as energetically unique as our DNA and fingerprints.

What is helpful advice for one ("just think positively") might be harmful and inappropriate for another, and may create disassociation with the more vulnerable parts of ourselves or cause the bypassing of unresolved trauma. By understanding the themes of consciousness, which we outline inside The Inner Work, listeners can learn to identify their unique emotions, thoughts, and patterns through self-analysis in order to recognize which of the 15 themes they may be stuck in.

By applying our three-step method, many will find that there's a healthy time and place for every emotion, including the ones we may have superstitiously pushed away like anger or grief. What if the healing journey is relative? What if our negative emotions do not in fact “attract” a negative reality but are actually the gateway to our freedom? What if the answer to each of our greatest life challenges is actually, “it depends”?

Listening to on repeat

This is extremely well thought out and beautifully blends various self improvement philosophies. Structured into an easy to follow and understand manual for life.
I really enjoyed the expressive audiobook, and the complementary challenges of podcast/youtube content was a wonderful bonus. I greatly recommend this content.

This is What I Needed

Wow! I’ve been struggling with my healing process for awhile now. Finding myself stuck. It was a relief to hear that what I am doing is on course. There are so many books on how to get to pure bliss, but not many that guide you after you achieve it. This book helped me so much on my continual journey of love of all. I highly recommend this book if you feel stuck in your process. Of course this book came to me at the right time. I always have divine timing. 🪬⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very Insightful

If you approach with honesty, you will finish with revelation. I appreciate the insights shared. I recommend this book to anyone studying themself.

this book! 💯

mam, this book is good and not for the faint at heart. it'll take you deep into who you thought you were. I plan to read this again. I've got the book and the audio. if you’re really truly ready for change, and to rebuild from the core. read this book!

Chewing gum

I have sensitive ears, annoying that most people listen to these in their headphones would prefer not to hear a man smacking on the gum while reading a story that is supposed to keep us focused, although I see how this is a personal problem who wants to hear someone chewing, well listening to what they’re saying over a great story though can’t wait to put in the work

Great listen

Helpful to bring perspective to how our ego really impacts out life. Great start for rewriting the athletes mind to learning that you are only in competition with yourself and no one is competing to be you.

Excellent!

I was intrigued by this book, but kept putting off buying it because I doubted it would live up to the hype. It did! This book is is for you if you’ve only just begun your healing journey; but especially if you’re ready to put aside excuses, take an honest look at yourself, and start taking the work seriously. It has the power to defrag the computer that is your mind. <3

Incredibly enlightening!

A life changing is an understatement. I can’t wait to what else they have in the future!

Must read

I love it very inspiring must read and listen very great much needed work very useful

Well put information.

I think this book is a good read/listen for people that have a hard time balancing their emotions and need help balancing themselves.
