The author, Antonio Monteiro dos Santos, brings together his experience of twenty-five years as a psychotherapist, the knowledge of A Course in Miracles, of The Bhagavad Gita, and of the Gospel of the Buddha to write this passionate book in answering these questions.

Rogers, Virginia Satir, Eugene Gendlin, Erving Polster, John Grinder, Robert Stein, and Robert Nemiroff presented in this book, add to its richness, making it into a profound statement about the crucial moments of life.
