Forthcoming: Your Essential Self

the inner journey to authenticity and spiritual enlightenment Now shedding its working title of “Human Awakening”, my new book Your Essential Self will be published in July 2013 by US publishers Llewellyn Worldwide. The competence and diligence of their editorial team has helped me to produce a book on the Three Stages of Awakening that is at once complete and accessible. There are plentiful exercises and anecdotes to illustrate and vividly color the psychological and spiritual content.

Your Essential Self is the central core of my thoughts and innovations over the last few years. I hope you will put the date in you diary and consider ordering copies for yourself and your closest friends.

Tao's Gift

reflections on personal and spiritual growth In inspiring and dynamic exchanges with his audience, Richard Harvey uses Chuang Tzu’s ancient wisdom to illustrate the pitfalls and cautions of the spiritual journey. Both a warm-hearted homage to one of his spiritual heroes and a deep appreciation of an insightful text, Tao’s Gift embodies the essence of Richard’s encouragement to spiritual aspirants that “there is no distance between you and the All.”

Full of encouragement and practical advice, highly readable and alive with compassion and humor, this seminar transcript, which includes a useful exercise section, is an indispensable and unique psycho-spiritual guide.

What readers say

I recommend for you too; to allow yourself time to discover the spiritual education wisdom understandings that Richard is being inspired to share with mankind…. Jansenius T. Lange Jnr., modern philosopher, author/writer, keynote public speaker, Founder/President of Self-Development Wisdom Institutes

I recommend Richard Harvey's The Flight of Consciousness as a true and accessible expression of holistic psychotherapy practice. Richard has been sharing his therapeutic philosophy with me since 1996 and during this time I have witnessed his work bring about the most dramatic, profound and miraculous changes in people. Susan Quick, Director of Enabling Radio

Your book The Flight of Consciousness is exquisite and precious. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. We are truly blessed. I appreciated the methodological framework proposed for such a delicate, personal and intricately complex (at the same time 'simple') process. The lessons at the end of the book are a treasure chest. Combined, the exercises create a rich tapestry to invite, enable and nurture personal growth and transformation. Rev. Robert Meagher, Inter-Faith/Non-Denominational Minister, Spiritual Guidance
