In these days when cult beliefs and behavior are animating large sectors of American society, the wisdom of Dr. Arthur Deikman could not be more timely and applicable. Fearless Books is pleased to announce the reprinting of two classic works in one volume by a pioneering psychiatrist and a leading voice in the founding of transpersonal psychology, whose wisdom not only outlived him but grows more relevant with the passing of time.In The Wrong Way Home: Uncovering the Patterns of Cult Behavior in American Society, Dr. Deikman examines the mindset of cults in depth via substantial interviews with cult members. He then offers a broader examination of how cult attitudes and behavior are widely expressed in corporate, business, and mainstream religious environments, not just esoteric cults with small followings.Personal Freedom: On Finding Your Way to the Real World takes the issues of "freedom of the mind" to the individual level, sharing principles and techniques from Zen and Sufism as well as modern psychotherapy to unlock the invisible prisons of belief and habitual thinking that we create for ourselves. SETTING THE MIND FREE brings these two priceless works back to life in this updated omnibus edition, featuring a Foreword by best-selling author and psychologist Lee Jampolsky, Ph.D.
