Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life

Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Ph.D., Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., and Tina Amorok, Psy.D

Show Description:
Wellness Roadshow presents: “Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation in Everday Life”
Written by Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, Ph.D., Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., and Tina Amorok, Psy.D., “Living Deeply” draws from 30 years of research from the Institute of Noetic Science on human consciousness. The authors premise is simple: your behavior, attitudes, and ways of being in the world are changed in life affirming and lasting ways only when your consciousness transforms, and you commit to living deeply into that transformation. In their book they show how science and spirituality are interconnected; providing a framework for creating your own journey as well as showing how your transformation links to a larger wave of collective and global consciousness.
