Metanoia Mechanics

Book excerpt: When we suffer many painful losses and fail more than we expect, we become disoriented and lose hope. We stop believing that we can make a significant difference in our future. There are many reasons for this, but the most important are shame, guilt, and fear. When we then decide to search for answers, the results are usually more of the same negative emotions. Only those who have experienced both sides of this spiritual conflict and know what it means to be lost, to feel abandoned, and to not know what to do with life, as well as what it means to overcome situations that seem to have no solution in sight, can show you where the bridges are from one state to the other. The information presented here invites you to go on this journey and learn to reinterpret your grief and fear, but also to respond to the criticism and judgment of others. This is a book for those who want to learn how to love themselves in a way that is practical and applicable to everyday life.
