The Journey of the Self

"The Journey of the Self provides a genuine spiritual psychology...We are invited to self-understanding in this book, to psychology and spiritual self-knowledge. Not only are we invited, we are given concrete examples and concrete help in making our way toward that goal." -- from the Forward by Robert Frager, founder, Institute of Transpersonal Psychology.

This unique guide to spiritual psychology presents Western readers with an Islamic concept of personality -- the wellspring of the Enneagram and other Sufi theories of personality. After introducing the basic model of the self, Shaykh Haeri describes a simple yet complete outline of the self's emergence, development, sustenance, and growth toward its highest potential.
