Rediscovering Who You Really Are The Five Pillars of Well-being Many decades as a non profit organization CEO, human service industry leader and psychotherapist have led me to the understanding that there are five critical aspects of selfhood (pillars) that largely determine the quality of peoples' lives. The book guides the reader through a self-directed journey of rediscovery of their pillars including methods for reconstituting those that have compromising influence. The five pillars represent a novel paradigm because they have never been collectively identified in the psychotherapeutic literature as having such monumental implications for determining the quality of the life experience. Many self-development books emphasize self-affirmation, positive thinking, goal directed intention and other aspects of positive self-regard. Although well-intentioned and offering considerable value, these approaches typically provide splintered outcomes because they address more constricted versions of experience. In contrast, this book focuses on the core foundational aspects of the human condition that sponsor well-being which are ultimately expressed in the eight dimensions of life experience. These are the spiritual, affective, temporal, social, cognitive, sensory, physical and behavioral dimensions. The pillars have been the central therapeutic agents for advancing the healing and well-being of thousands of participants in my organization. I wrote the book to make the same opportunity available for other people seeking to optimize their lives. The people who will be inclined to read this book include (1) those already experienced with self-development and who wish to extend it even further, (2) those not experienced with self-development but who want to improve their lives and, (3) psychotherapists who seek to advance success and curative outcomes for their patients. The writing style is engaging and motivational. Readers will be challenged and inspired as they come face to face with the amazing aspects of themselves that they knew were there but were never fully understood. This rediscovery opens up unlimited opportunity for expanding happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment and meaning as well as offsetting the unprecedented increase in contemporary symptoms including anxiety, depression, loneliness, addiction and low self-esteem that compromise so many peoples' lives.

Autorenporträt
As a result of early challenging experiences, the author developed a passion for healing the suffering that infiltrates much of the human experience. Following the creation of a non-profit treatment organization for children and adolescents in the 1970's that remains today and the completion of a doctorate in education and psychology in the early 1980's, healing was made possible for thousands of children. This occurred using a proprietary treatment system that has proven to be remarkably effective.In the late 1980's, the author launched a national social policy initiative that was designed to prevent young people from acquiring the counterproductive symptoms (depression, suicide, addiction, crime, pregnancy, etc.) that were increasing at that time and have now become pandemic. This initiative over ten years gained fifty state citizen representation and raised considerable interest and discussion at some of the highest levels of the nation's government, media and largest corporations. The author also founded three other non-profit corporations during that same time to advance the implementation of the initiative. Unfortunately, the initiative was never nationalized as a result of its incongruence with prevailing political prerogatives.The proprietary system that has been successfully used for many decades in the author's organization is the same as that which would have been used in the national initiative and now comprises the basis of this book. The centerpiece of this system is The Five Pillars - core beliefs, core needs, primary affect, conflict disposition and love orientation - which the author has concluded are the most influential constituents of the human experience. Forty-seven years as an organization founder, CEO, business leader, author, lecturer, university instructor and healer inspired the realization that these five pillars, present but not fully discovered in every human being, largely determine the nature and quality of each person's life experience. This realization was also inspired by the author's service on non-profit boards of directors and longstanding leadership in the educational and psychological communities.This book has been written to guide and encourage all who are motivated to harness the healing power of their pillars to advance and optimize their lives, an outcome that would actualize the lifelong passion of the author.
