Ah, ‘The Alchemy of Inner Work. “Finally, a book that combines medieval chemistry with self-help!” Just what the world needed. And look at that cover! It’s like a sunrise or a very confused artist’s attempt at a gradient. A warm, fuzzy yellow melting into a bold, fiery orange.
Then there’s the subtitle, ‘A Guide for Turning Illness & Suffering into True Health & Well-Being.’ Who knew it was that easy? Just a little bit of alchemy, and poof! Your problems are solved. Forget doctors and therapists, bring on the ancient mystics and their magical transformations.
And those endorsements! Caroline Myss thinks it’s a “treasure trove.” Well, if it’s good enough for her, it must be filled with gold… or at least some fool’s gold.
In The Alchemy of Inner Work, Dechar and Fox examine how illness, suffering, and dis-ease—the “lead” of our lives—can become the “gold” of our authentic selves, and the key to good health and well-being.
