This book is about feelings, and the ways that we, as individuals and as a culture, have numbed ourselves against them. It is about unleashing the possibility of conscious feelings to re-make our lives into what really matters to us. The Power of Conscious Feelings introduces readers to the concept of the personal numbness bara measure set high by modern culture as a way of keeping everything cool, under control, and consequently out of touch. This book provides the insight and the means for lowering that numbness bar. You can feel more, the author asserts. You can regain the intelligence and energy of your feelings, so long denied and dressed up to appear acceptable. Being cool, Callahan states, allows you to look the other way about torture, invasion, pollution and injustice, and to accept the generic malaise that characterizes so many relationships.

Each chapter is enriched with THOUGHTMAPSclear diagrams of ways we presently think and ways we could possibly thinkand supported by an abundance of practical experiments to try. The Power of Conscious Feelings is so much more than a book of self-help or inspiration. Ultimately, it is about our connection with and responsibility for the fate of the Earth.

We emerge, already connected with other human beings, connected in the world of feelings we all have in common. This book actually guides the reader through four distinct evolutionary stage
