Lonely No More: The Astonishing Power of Inner Bonding by Dr. Margaret Paul
Lonely No More: The Astonishing Power of Inner Bonding takes the reader on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and personal transformation, exploring the often-conflicting relationship between the false beliefs of the ego wounded self, how those false beliefs leave a person lonely and disconnected, and how to achieve true spiritual connection. Through engaging narratives and practical exercises, this book offers valuable insights into achieving a balanced, fulfilling relationship with both the self and the Divine. Here’s a sampling of what you will learn: *The difference between getting and sharing love; *The difference between self-responsibility and self-sacrifice: * The difference tween our true soul self and our ego wounded self; * A road map for healing loneliness by promoting self-awareness, inner healing and personal responsibility; *Healing other related conditions like anxiety, depression, shame, addictions and relationship problems. The opposite of loneliness is not a never-ending blissful, happy, problem-free state. It is feeling alive and connected once again. The ability to feel deeply, to express the gamut of one’s emotions in a healthy way, and to connect to yourself, others and life overall to address challenges and triumphs in a way that says “yes” to life, is the goal of this book.
