Clear, thoughtful, and lyrical, it guides the reader along the fascinating journey of self-discovery, providing support and practical suggestions along the way." --Hal Stone, PhD and Sidra Stone, PhD, Creators of Voice Dialogue , authors of Embracing Our Selves ; Embracing Your Inner Critic ; Partnering; and The Shadow King . " Negotiating the Inner Peace Treaty inevitably leads to greater peace and productivity in the outer world as well. The exercises and insights offered here are profound, clear, and attainable for anyone.
