Description

The superego, the judge within is the voice that's constantly on our case, that trips us up and brings us down. Workshop leader, Byron Brown, a senior student of A. H. Almaas, aims to help the reader to understand the working of the judge within, and to escape its harsh sentences. Each chapter includes a dramatic reconstruction of how the judge operates, and includes exercises and practices to ease them along the path to inner freedom.

Reviews

"This a practical and personal tool for those who seek enlightenment and wish to defeat the inner critic."Library Journal



"A life preserver for the true soul drowning in a sea of criticisms from its inner judge."Independent Publisher

"In very clear and available language, this book details how to recognize the inner critic and how to deal effectively with it. Byron Brown's presentation is useful for any individual who wishes to be free from the inner suffering and coercion of this ancient foe of our humanity, but it is specifically directed to those interested and engaged in the inner journey toward realization and enlightenment."A. H. Almaas



"Soul without Shame is a rare book that blends intellectual depth, genuine originality, and practical usefulness. As Byron Brown envisions the 'inner critic,' (the superego) it is a force that most of us accept as a necessary moral compass in our lives, but which in fact attacks us relentlessly and insidiously. Gracefully and persuasively, Brown makes the case that we literally become our own worst enemies, undermining even our most determined efforts to grow and prosper. This book offers rich and fresh insights into an aspect of inner work that is far too often neglected, and also sets out systematic ways to break free of the prison of judgmentboth of ourselves and of others."Tony Schwartz, author of What Really Matters
