In Part One: Becoming Conscious Louise talks about responsibility versus blame and the importance of not playing the victim. She shares a bit about her own journey and her learning to follow her own inner voice. Then she writes about the power of the spoken word. She shares how we all need to pay attention to our own self-talk and change it if necessary. She then goes on to talk about affirmations and the power they have. 

 

Part Two:  Dissolving the Barries explores the four major blocks that stop most people.  Then the focus is on learning how to deal with your feelings and let feelings out. The feelings mentioned include anger, depression and grieving. 

 

In Part Three: Loving Yourself Louise shares 10 ways to love yourself. Throughout the whole book is it clear that Louise believes loving yourself is very important and this part of the book enables her to go beyond saying it is important but giving the reader practical ways to love themself.  This part of the book also look forward and back with conversations around loving your inner child and dealing with getting older.

 

Part Four: Applying Your Inner Wisdom explores prosperity, being honest and being grateful. Louise touches on the importance of being able to express your creativity and then moves onto the concept of ‘totality of possibilities’.
