Description

William R. Miller offers a fresh perspective on ambivalence and its transformative potential in this revealing book.

The rich inner world of a human being is far more complex than either/or, with people often experiencing conflicting emotions and desires. Rather than trying to overcome indecision by force of will, Dr. Miller explores what happens when opposing arguments from our "inner committee members" are allowed to converse freely with each other.

Learning to tolerate and even welcome feelings of ambivalence can help you get unstuck from unwanted habits, clarify your desires and values, explore the pros and cons of tough decisions, and open doorways to change. Vivid examples from everyday life, literature, and history illustrate why we are so often "of two minds", and how to work through it.
