We are capable of deeper and more satisfying relationships.

And it poses the most heartbreaking moral dilemma of all: when a loved one is suffering, is euthanasia the answer?

A Hidden Wholeness has helped people in every walk of life rise to the challenge of living "divided no more." What leads us to live divided lives that defy our own sense of identity and integrity?

Palmer examines the forces that deflect us from the soul's true north and gives us the tools we need to regain our bearings. Palmer explores perspectives and practices that can help us embody integrity in a world where it often feels risky to be who we are.
