About the Book

Learn how hidden inner selves hijack happiness and sabotage success and how to transform those selves into powerful allies

Book Synopsis

Blocked? A Revolutionary Guide to Getting Unstuck

Author Bridgit Dengel Gaspard coined the term "the final eighth" to describe a phenomenon she experienced herself and observed in others: talented, energetic, motivated people accomplish many steps toward a goal (seven-eighths of it) but then are mysteriously stalled. Practical tips and pep talks don't work because the problem -- and the solution -- lies deeper. While the conscious, everyday self says, "I want this," other inner selves worry that success will put them in some kind of danger. The powerful secret? Not every part of you wants what you think you want! The innovative technique of voice dialogue will help you communicate with your alter egos, whatever your goal is. In the process, you'll discover and liberate inner "wise counselors, canny advisers, and magical sages," transforming them into valuable allies who'll help you finally achieve your goals.
