From the Back Cover:

"An incredible ride through the corridors of consciousness, taking you to places not many have had the courage to visit before. That visit could change your life." (Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations With God series)

About the Author:

Psychotherapist, writer and seminar facilitator Brad Blanton often describes himself as "white trash with a Ph.D." With an engaging southern accent, Blanton speaks with an unwavering honesty that is both disarming and challenging, a quality that has earned him admirers as well as detractors.

Brad earned his doctorate from the University of Texas at 25 years old. But he attributes the bulk of his education to years spent as an activist in the civil rights movement, marching against the Vietnam war, living as a hippie in an old school bus and a fierce dedication to self-discovery and honesty. As a 40-year veteran of the human potential movement, Brad Blanton has the experience and the insight to be counted among the great thinkers of his generation.

After years working in academia, government and private enterprise, Brad settled into a professional niche in 1970 when he launched a private psychotherapy in Washington D.C. His practice thrived for 25 years, during which he counseled couples, groups and individuals, many of whom were among Capital Hill's most prominent players. From this vantage point, Brad developed a unique perspective on human nature, and this, in conjunction with the work he'd done on his own psyche, helped form his views about radical honesty. He now counsels people on how to live according to their own personal truths, and teaches that the primary cause of stress, depression, anger and violence is lying.

Brad lives in a small town in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where he spends his time teaching and conducting 8-day workshops on honesty. He regards his five children (ranging in age from 7 to 31) as his most influential teachers, and the inspiration for his new book, "Practicing Radical Honesty."
