Summary

This inspiring new book by therapist Ron Potter-Efron invites us to reevaluate our priorities and explore practical ways of keeping our greatest needs intergraded and in balance:

Accepting ourselves for who we are
Believing that we are needed and valued by others and feeling able to share our lives
Enjoying the satisfaction of setting and achieving goals and being recognized for the things we do well

Ron reminds us that each need calls for attention and cautions us against overspecializing in one area. Throughout the book, thoughtful self-discovery exercises help us find ways to nourish each of the three elements and rediscover a sense of vitality and communion and true accomplishment in our lives.
