"Personal Mythology" by David Feinstein and Stanley Krippner

Abstract

How would you like to read a book that would hopefully provide for you the experience of taking a transformational workshop, without actually leaving your house? David Feinstein and Stanley Krippner have provided such a manual for you, replete with suggestions for guided visualizations, journal writing, for the construction of ritual objects, and a theory about your own personal and family mythology as the overall framework for your inner journey. It's effectiveness may vary, depending on one's given personal myths and their "severity."I would not recommend this technique to be followed without ongoing therapy, especially for people who are undergoing extreme distress or have borderline symptoms. If utilized as a suggestive device for personal growth, and especially by people well worn on the beaten path of workshops and similar transformational growth experience, it can be an excellent ancillary tool. The style of writing is accessible to any who want to pursue the "written form" of self-actualizing through rigorous exercises.
