A lovely text that asks gently nudges you to build your worldly activities around what best nourishes you, much, like an ancient city around its central well. Magnificiently, it could be called major parts integration manual.

This book is acts a guide to your own personal internal wellspring. Helping you to make sure that the inner jug with which you draw the precious fluid from this well is sound and cared for. This comes from using all the techniques to experience how you started of as one, unified whole

Linden is a writer, who takes the reader far beyond fashions, which come and go. Yes, she uses familiar NLP techniques to address the fundamental needs and facts of life that remain the same. How you are relating to parts of yourself, and how do you do that. Through human co-operativeness. Co peration within yourself. Co operation between parts of yourself. So you act as one unified whole!

A fundamental text, Linden describes clearly how to work with the 8 principles, equipping people workers with effective guidance in dealing with the spaces between their relationships.

Highly recommended.
