Transformed

This is a book about a transformative decision-making process designed to address the conditions and complexities of modern life for individuals, pairs, families, neighborhoods, villages, cities, organizations, states, nations, and the world community. This process not only fosters wise, just, and practical decisions, but spiritual and social advancement for both the people using it and those impacted by the decisions. Our previous book1-about the purposes of life; the spiritual, intellectual, and social growth patterns designed into life by an all-loving Creator; and how to act in alignment with these purposes and patterns-described this decision process briefly and promised an in-depth exploration in our next book. This remarkable process came to our attention in 1968, and we began trying to use it in all areas of our lives.
This process has helped us navigate our personal development, cultivate a lasting marriage, raise enlightened children, guide and nurture our grandchildren, assist our aged parents, deal with chronic illnesses, find and practice professions that allow us to be of meaningful service to others, and build responsible, spiritually centered communities that are the hallmark of an emerging global civilization. Working respectively as a professional coach and organization development consultant and as a psychotherapist, we have also applied this methodology with our individual, group, and organizational clients. Whether working with a depressed and anxious individual, a married couple on the verge of divorce, an individual seeking a more meaningful life path, a work group in the midst of conflict, an organization seeking to design its future, or a community trying to take responsibility for its own social, material, and spiritual development, this methodology has provided the guidance needed to make transformative decisions that foster healing, deepened understanding, spiritual growth, social advancement, and unity.
