In this collection of letters and essays, Ted leads readers on a journey to better understand what's behind the daily emotional struggles with which so many individuals of all ages live - insight regarding the origins of someone's inner turmoil and how to quiet it. This applies to the struggles of life partners and families, too. Ted breaks through the myths that keep so many locked in prevailing sentiments about families of origin and teaches what to do with baggage that should be unpacked. He brings his own unique and fresh perspective, and he challenges us with several new concepts and ideas - helping us learn what it means to be human. The book concludes with 52 weekly meditations to encourage readers to write about their lives and feelings.
