If you've read The Human Side of Human Beings, The Reclaiming of Power is the next book to buy by Harvey Jackins. It is actually a collection of things he wrote in the early eighties. The most important section is pages 47-72, where he lays out the key insights of people in Re-evaluation Counseling. Never has someone written so well about liberation and oppression. While there has been much written in Re-evaluation Counseling in the last twenty years, these twenty-five pages still get to the heart of what we need to hear each day. I refer to this book more than any other on my shelf, not because it has unique wisdom. But because it reminds me of what I think. Societies tend to pull us away from ourselves. Jackins maps the way back. And it's no tougher than reading a simple road map.
