Summary
Explore your multifaceted mind - an invitation to personal healing and spiritual awakening
Inside each of us, there are many distinct selves. “Though we’ve been raised to believe that healthy people have a single ‘self’”, explains Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, “acknowledging our multiplicity gives a far deeper awareness of how our minds actually work.” Dr. Schwartz’s pioneering Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy has become renowned in psychotherapy for its power to help us connect with and heal the many distinct facets - or parts - of our psyche. With Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts, he brings you a practical training course for using this method for your growth, well-being, and especially your spiritual journey.
Embracing your inner diversity as a path to wholeness
One of the key lessons of IFS therapy is that there are no bad parts. “Trauma or life experience can cause our parts to take on burdens”, says Dr. Schwartz. “Yet when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening.” Through instruction and guided meditations, Dr. Schwartz shows us how to engage even the most disturbing or unwanted parts of our psyche with openness and love - so we may unlock the hidden gifts and wisdom each part contains.
Many forms of therapy and even spiritual practice inadvertently put us in conflict with ourselves as we try to transcend or reject our parts. With Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts, Dr. Schwartz invites you to embrace each of your many parts with self-compassion - and discover the inclusive greater Self that is your true, divine nature.

Mediatations
Well, I was hoping it will be a lecture + meditations with the IFS practices. Instead every chapter IS meditation with explanation following. Sadly unusable format for me. If you are new to IFS go for Jay Early book. I wish the content was separated into theory and practice. As is, I will have to return this title, as I cant use it, despite coming from the author of this therapy.

Life Changing Stuff
I absolutely loved the amazing journey this audiobook has taken me on. I've been in IFS therapy for the last year and this is such a great accompaniment, it really helps clarify what's been taking place in therapy for me. The sections about the ego and meditation have answered years worth of questions I've felt inside. IFS is gradually and completely changing my view of myself, my internal world in a gentle, kind and profound way. Thank you so much Richard.

Amazing combination of theory and practice
This is actually an online, self led therapy course which includes the explanation of the approach used - Internal family systems. IFS has allowed me to really process feelings in a way that traditional therapy has only arrived at rationally. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
