Description

Using the lens of ecopsychology Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world But it doesnt have to be that way

Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with ones self ones community and our planet

Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linkedthe ecological crisis as psychological crisis and vice versaopens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self

Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous pluralistic and ecological self This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing
