The Possibility Principle: How Quantum Physics Can Improve the Way You Think, Live, and Love

Description

When faced with challenges and difficulties, it's easy to feel trapped-by our circumstances, our personal history, and conditioning, and our daily struggle to change. But what if we could escape these trappings? With The Possibility Principle, Mel Schwartz emerges as one of the first psychotherapists to distill the basic premises of quantum theory into an empowering and practical system for transcending limitations and opening to infinite possibility. New discoveries in quantum physics are revolutionising the way we understand our world, but we're often unclear about how this applies to our own experience. Using three core tenets of quantum physics-inseparability, potentiality, and uncertainty-Schwartz demonstrates how each of us can overcome difficulties and live our fullest potential, so long as we are willing to challenge our operating beliefs. Drawing from his vast body of research and dozens of client success stories, Schwartz shows us how to break through communication impasses, create resilient relationships, build authentic self-esteem, overcome anxiety and depression, and catalyse our defining moments so we can live more fearless and expansive lives.

"The Possibility Principle is a beautifully written book on how we can live fully as we awaken from the stupor of Newton's sleep. The benefits range from overcoming anxiety and depression and mastering our communication to thriving in our relationships!" --Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Defy Gravity "Building on the science of quantum physics, Mel Schwartz uses the metaphors of quantum realities to propose a new model of transformation that informs our everyday lived experiences. This handbook for life brings the inspiration of quantum uncertainty, interconnectedness, emergence, and entanglement into compelling practices to help each of us grow and heal. A seasoned clinician, Schwartz offers new perspectives on the power of our beliefs, worldviews, and intentions that can help us enter realms of unfolding possibilities." --Marilyn Schlitz, PhD, professor and chair of PhD programs in Transpersonal Psychology, Sofia University; author of the book Death Makes Life Possible; executive producer and writer of the film Death Makes Life Possible "The insights to be gained from The Possibility Principle are enormous, as you will see. Mel Schwartz draws breathtaking parallels between the quantum reality and our human experience, revealing powerful lessons for living to our greatest potential. He shows that consciousness is fundamental and that our minds and hearts are shared, as one. The implications for human welfare are profound." --Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters "The Possibility Principle is profound yet reader-friendly, well-grounded but very, very wise. According to Mel Schwartz, our lives are in tatters as a result of clinging to seventeenth-century paradigms to cope with twenty-first-century crises. His book, The Possibility Principle, clearly describes the havoc wrought by a worldview that reinforces competition and separateness while neglecting compassion and cooperation. Schwartz insists that humanity is playing out the wrong game plan and calls for nothing less than new ways of thinking that will turn around both individual lives and the world-at-large. This move from a deterministic, mechanistic worldview to one that is participatory has incredible implications for our personal lives, for our mental and emotional health, and for the very foundations of society." --Stanley Krippner, PhD, coauthor of Personal Mythology
