After the Ego

After the Ego

After the Ego offers a powerful roadmap for spiritual awakening in a time of profound inner and global change. Drawing from the Pathwork Guide’s teachings, this book explores the essential relationship between the ego—the part of us that navigates daily life—and the Real Self, our deeper source of truth, wisdom and vitality. Through insights on self-awareness, emotional healing, surrender and conscious living, After the Ego invites us to move beyond duality and into a more integrated, awakened way of being.
