The compassionate insights presented in this audio tape by the late Dr. Max Hammer should be helpful for people who are coping with stress, emotional hurt, and inner conflict, as well as people who are seeking to develop significantly greater levels of inner peace, happiness, creative insight and inspiration, meaningful self-understanding and self-unification, healthy mature and fulfilling psychological development, nonsectarian spiritual awakening, and/or seeking to develop fulfilling interpersonal relationships, with true love, good communication, and empathic experiential intimacy, as well as applying similar principles as a way of compassionately transforming society for the better. Furthermore, this discussion should also be helpful to psychotherapists, counselors, life coaches, social workers, clergy involved in pastoral counseling, as well as other human services professionals. Dr. Hammer's insights are truly experiential, heartfelt, deeply sincere, and useful, not just theoretical or speculative.
