Publisher's Summary
Explore your multifaceted mind - an invitation to personal healing and spiritual awakening
Inside each of us, there are many distinct selves. “Though we’ve been raised to believe that healthy people have a single ‘self’”, explains Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, “acknowledging our multiplicity gives a far deeper awareness of how our minds actually work.” Dr. Schwartz’s pioneering Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy has become renowned in psychotherapy for its power to help us connect with and heal the many distinct facets - or parts - of our psyche. With Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts, he brings you a practical training course for using this method for your growth, well-being, and especially your spiritual journey.
Embracing your inner diversity as a path to wholeness
One of the key lessons of IFS therapy is that there are no bad parts. “Trauma or life experience can cause our parts to take on burdens”, says Dr. Schwartz. “Yet when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening.” Through instruction and guided meditations, Dr. Schwartz shows us how to engage even the most disturbing or unwanted parts of our psyche with openness and love - so we may unlock the hidden gifts and wisdom each part contains.
Many forms of therapy and even spiritual practice inadvertently put us in conflict with ourselves as we try to transcend or reject our parts. With Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts, Dr. Schwartz invites you to embrace each of your many parts with self-compassion - and discover the inclusive greater Self that is your true, divine nature.

Truly transformative experience
I am very grateful to have found this audio book narrators by the authentic and caring Richard Schwartz. IFS is a gift to this world. Going through the exercises has illuminated many perplexing aspects of my inner world. I am still at the early phases of self leadership but I can already see the powerful impact of the method. It is amazing how simple but profound this practice is and I am delighted by the transformative potential it holds for individuals, families, communities and the world. Deeply humbled and grateful for this experience. Thank You!

Amazing
This recording changed how I interacted with my self sabotage, anxiety, negative thoughts etc. From the first meditation my anxiety, which I’ve been addressing through various means of therapy for 10+ years, completely dissipated. Still work to do, but feels a lot more possible thanks to this book. Would highly recommend.
