Synopsis

After Seminars, Retreats, Classes, or Therapy, The Real Commitment to Change Starts at Home where the Moment of Truth is Waiting at Your Doorstep. From This Day On Preserving Newfound Insight, Change & Growth in the Real-World Lori Jespersen, Psy.D 9780875168470 | Trade Paperback 216pg $14.95 | July 2010 | NOT YET AVAILABLE Subject: Self-Help/Personal Growth Current research from the field of psychology suggests that the maintenance of change and the integration of insight into everyday living is perhaps the most unresolved challenge in the healing professions. We are a culture enamored by the beauty of wisdom - the poetry of eastern thought, or the manicured how-to's of mindful living; we spend millions of dollars each year on inspirational workshops, rejuvenating wellness retreats, and self-help solutions. But change requires more than a climactic ending to a well-told story. A world of integration and maintenance must be reconciled if any lasting meaning, any true change, is to come. As a response, FROM THIS DAY ON explores two essential areas: what exactly impedes the maintenance of insight, and how can we effectively overcome these challenges? Dr Lori Jespersen’s new book sees to it that the inspiration and meaning found on the path to change does not fade upon the return home.When all is said and done, the unmistakable truth is that we can listen to the finest deliverers of enlightenment that every continent has to offer, just as we could eat the finest meal that the most acclaimed chef could create. But I say to you, this does not translate into the ability to go home and recreate the meal. So in this book, I offer you my recipe—a slow and methodical application of how to cook the spiritual good stuff when you get home. Because, when you leave the church, the retreat, the wellness center, even the spiritual café, the chef isn’t coming with you. Eventually you will be alone in the kitchen, spoon in hand, wondering what that delicious taste was again—and how, exactly, did they cook it?

About the Author

Clinical psychologist, Dr. Lori Jespersen has explored the avenues by which people maintain change across a broad scope of experience and psychological philosophies. In FROM THIS DAY ON, Jespersen’s first book, she explores what recent and relevant research from the clinical world has learned about our ability to change our internal maintenance process and set the stage so the practical implementation of insight into our daily lives, habits, and routines can become a reality.
