This book delivers scientific backing for the stages of ego growth, what it means to have a mature ego, and the steps to take for getting there. Not only does the path of growing up the ego connect us to the mission of our souls, it also provides a crucible strong enough to support the transcendent experiences we so yearn for. In learning of the essential role of the ego--that of keeping us alive and giving us a sense for self--readers soon discover that when we''re born, the ego has as much growing up to do as the rest of us. When bonding with caretakers is interrupted or fails, we see the results in children and adults who lack self-esteem, cannot be empathic, cannot establish healthy relationships, and who may act out in varying ways. Like no other book in its genre, GROW UPYOUR EGO shows how the ego can grow up at any time through the identification and maturing of defense mechanisms; by learning how to appropriately self-soothe; and through the experience of wholesome relationships. In language anyone can understand, this self-help book leads readers through chapter content and exercises. Case examples and step-by-step encouragement contribute to this holistic overview of how spirituality is part and parcel of our humanness. Larry Dossey MD states GROW UP YOUR EGO is a splendid guide to psychological and spiritual maturity. The idea we must demolish our ego in order to progress emotionally has caused enormous misunderstanding and unnecessary suffering. Dr. Gagan sets the record straight in this clear and inspiring book. Author and internationally renowned motivational speaker Michael J. Gelb describes GROW UP YOUR EGO as a practical, useful guide to the development of emotional intelligence. The August 2014 issue of MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW proclaims the merits of this book in this way: GROW UP YOUR EGO author Jeannette M. Gagan...creates a self-help instructional manual that is an informed & informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking, inspired and inspiring, and above all, practical and thoroughly ''user friendly'' for non-specialist readers seeking to improve the quality of their personal lives. Very highly recommended for personal and community library collections. Author and winner of the Walt Whitman award Greg Glazner states Jeannette Gagan''s GROW UP YOUR EGO takes the reader from a basic understanding of the self to a consideration of the highest levels of spiritual maturity, making harmonious use of psychology, science, and spiritual traditions. This is not just a book to read, but a book to grow by. Clifford Passen, MD, ND (Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist) affirms how Dr. Jeannette Gagan has provided practical exercises to help us identify our own areas in need of attention and guides the reader to address those areas directly. Her vision is ultimately optimistic: that with intention we can all continue to develop in ego functioning and the ability to live fully, that we are not bound by the pains and insults of the past, and that no matter what our age, we can continue to grow. In addition to such glowing reviews, GROW UP YOUR EGO received a 2014 NATIONAL INDIE FINALIST EXCELLLENCE AWARD. To learn more about Jeannette Gagan and her books visit www.riochamapublications.com.
