The stormy search for the self - Christina Grof

A brilliant, pioneering book that shows how understanding and living with a spiritual crisis can ultimately be an extremely positive experience that leads to renewal, rebirth and a greater sense of self.

Many people, at some point, find themselves opening up to a more spiritual life. If this happens gradually, the result will be healing and rewarding.

However, many find these changes too dramatic, and their everyday lives are overturned.

This book explores these spiritual 'emergencies'. The authors draw on years of professional and personal experience to describe the different forms these crises can take, how they are different from mental illnesses, and practical ways to best survive them.
