Access Your Inner Authority to Gain the Power to Change

I've spent a lot of time with Betty L. Smith and her book, The Power to Change: The Shadow Side of Idealism. She is a lifelong learner and tireless explorer of human nature. Her latest book draws on a wellspring of life experience as she shares her own healing journey. The insights that Betty L. Smith gleaned as a self-taught life-explorer continue to serve her audiences as she does talks and teleseminars for caregivers. She shares the crucial importance of "feeling your real feelings and conducting your interactions using life affirming communications" in the book through her own stories, anecdotes, and life lessons. Her courage in recreating herself time after time illustrates, with hope and possibility for all of us, just how far you can go with curious and open-minded explorations. For those looking for the power to change and looking to trust their own inner authorities, then Betty L. Smith's book offers powerful support, insights, and guidance.
