8 Steps . . . shows you how to use stress to create a richer, fuller, more rewarding life. Dr. Stephen Royal Jackson offers a message and a method our world desperately needs. He provides you with four nner steps to transform stress and four outer steps to transform conflict into love in the hat of the moment. These steps can help you: 1.) Transform anger and fear back into love in the heat of conflict. 2.) Achieve inner peace and outer harmony at home and work. 3.) Harness the stress of deep personal loss to renew your life. 4.) Use stress to heal the hidden hurts of your past. 5.) Make conflict a dance of love instead of a battle of fear and anger. 8 Steps to Love is an outgrowth of Dr. Jackson's work as a psychologist. He saw how ineffective ways of dealing with stress and conflict caused so much needless suffering for his clients regardless of their age, sex, race, education and socioeconomic status. He answered with a remarkably simple approach - use stress to transform your life. Just as an oyster produces a pearl from an irritating grain of sand, so you can use the emotional pain of stress to create the pearl of a richer, fuller, more rewarding life.
