To say Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D., will not ever have mass appeal is an understatement. If anything, the masses detest him en masse. And rightfully so. His radical approach to self-transformation doesn’t come sugarcoated or gift wrapped. Rather, Dr. Hyatt exposes every hypocrisy and forces his readers to face “yourselves as you are–not as you wish to be.” In the world of Dr. Hyatt we formulate our ideas of ourselves and the world around us based on accumulated lies (aka “traditions”) taught to us since childhood. As a result each person comes to believe in a fictitious “I” solely based on the liars in our lives regurgitating their lies onto us. “We are all handicapped by our traditions and conclusions,” according to Dr. Hyatt. Heroically, and luckily for many of us, he does offer a way out. Though he passed away in 2008, his take-no-prisoners approach to self-actualization lives on. The articles contained in this book are written by authors who carry the torch of the Doctor’s great work. “This book is a treasure of sanity wrapped in the garment of madness.”
