Book Review of The Act of Will

The Act of Will
reviewed on + 224 more book reviews


This unique book brings human will back to the center of everyday life. Here there is none of the old notion of will as 'something stern and forbidding which condemns and represses...the personality drives.' Instead Dr. Roberto Assagioli defines the will as a constructive force guiding intuition, impulse, emotion and imagination toward complete realization of the self. He proposes a set of exercises that the reader can practice at home and that train the will for 'optimum use at all levels of existence - from the personal to the transpersonal and reaching into the realm where the individual will merges with the universal will.'
