He explains how it is our fear of love's demands that drive us into hiding. He argues that love is our highest ideal, the richest source of life's meaning and purpose, and the key to our emotional security, personal serenity and confidence.Yet Mackay exposes the great paradox of human nature, that while love brings out our best, we don't always want our best brought forward.Powerfully written and drawing on a lifetime of research, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Inner Self\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of extraordinary insight by one of Australia's most respected psychologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh MacKay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760787744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760787745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MacMillan Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Hugh MacKay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993442681087,"sku":"9781760787745","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c85401a6-6a6f-4da0-9e46-74a83c2051e1.jpg?v=1683324361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-inner-self-hugh-mackay-9781760787745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
