Heyes' monograph in feminist philosophy is on the connection between the idea of "normalization"--which per Foucault is a mode or force of control that homogenizes a population--and the gendered body. Drawing on Foucault and Wittgenstein, she argues that the predominant picture of the self--a picture that presupposes an "inner" core of the self that is expressed, accurately or not, by the outer body--obscures the connection between contemporary discourses and practices of self-transformation and the forces of normalization. In other words, pictures of the self can hold us captive when they are being read from the outer self--the body--rather than the inner self, and we can express our inner self by working on our outer body to conform. Articulating this idea with a mix of the theoretical and the practical, she looks at case studies involving transgender people, weight-loss dieting, and cosmetic surgery. Her concluding chapters look at the difficult issue of how to distinguish non-normalizing practices of the self from normalizing ones, and makes suggestions about how feminists might conceive of subjects as embodied and enmeshed in power relations yet also capable of self-transformation. The subject of normalization and its relationship to sex/gender is a major one in feminist theory; Heyes' book is unique in her masterful use of Foucault; its clarity, and its sophisticated mix of the theoretical and the anecdotal. It will appeal to feminist philosophers and theorists.

In this modern dynamic world that brings us challenges from the moment we wake up to the second we put our head on the pillow, there is an ever-growing desire to thrive. A desire to achieve and overcome our limitations. But it is not in the material goals that we will find our growth and development as human beings because there is no better achievement than our own transformation. Self transformation may seem difficult at first and it is not for everyone. Yes, everyone can do it as we all have been blessed with an immense amount of inner resources, but not everyone will be brave enough to embark on the journey of personal growth. Can you imagine yourself three months from now? How about one year from now? Where do you want to be? How do you want your life to look like? Because if that is not a good enough trigger for you then you will need to find the motivation that will push you forward. Unless you want your life one year from now to look exactly the same. The book will focus on techniques that might make you raise your eyebrows or that you might even find outrageous. Stay with them. This only means that your mind has been programmed for so long with a certain way of thinking and looking at the world that you will need to really make an effort to dedicate yourself to transformation. It means that there is an even greater call for transformation and your current lifestyle might need to be reframed on several levels. We are human beings and our tendency is to resist change. But when noticing that change looks like an impossible task, the effort is to keep the mind open. Read. Listen. Try. Adapt. Trust the process. Inside you will find: - How to discover the power of thoughts in your everyday life - The difference between reaction and response - The importance of routines - Good and bad habits, and their patterns - How the right Community can help - The vision of tansformation and the plan to achieve it - How and when taking action

This book brings together scholars of a variety of the world's major civilizations to focus on the universal theme of inner transformation. The idea of the "self" is a cultural formation like any other, and models and conceptions of the inner world of the person vary widely from one civilization to another. Nonetheless, all the world's great religions insist on the need to transform this inner world, however it is understood, in highly expressive and specific ways. Such transformations, often ritually enacted, reveal the primary intuitions, drives, and conflicts active within the culture. The individual essays--by such distinguished scholars as Wai-yee Li, Janet Gyatso, Wendy Doniger, Christiano Grottanelli, Charles Malamoud, Margalit Finkelberg, and Moshe Idel--study dramatic examples of these processes in a wide range of cultures, including China, India, Tibet, Greece and Rome, Late Antiquity, Islam, Judaism, and medieval and early-modern Christian Europe.

In Transformation: Emergence of the Self, noted analyst and author Murray Stein explains what this process is and what it means for an individual to experience it. Transformation usually occurs at midlife but is much more complicated than what we colloquially call a midlife crisis. Consciously working through this life stage can lead people to become who they have always potentially been. Indeed, Stein suggests, transformation is the essential human task.

I walk the path every detail of this book which lead me to make contact to the "I."

Be strong and courageous, get rid of fear, doubt, worries, and the way to make contact is to trust and obey the inspired impulse, and this can be done through meditation and believing. The body or flesh we're in had gathered debris of dark forces energy.

Self-knowledge: Why it matters to transform ourselves. What makes us who we are? Is it our intelligence, talent, or something else in life? Not as much as we think. Abhaya Tiwari argues - our vision of life is fogged by superficiality. It yearns granularity about our core constituents of self by plowing deeper into our inner self. Self–knowledge plays a critical role in accessing our true self that plays a far greater role in our understanding of our true self, purpose, success and happiness, untangling us from the vicissitudes of life. It matters even more in a disrupted world that is fragmented in our contemporary times, where self-knowledge and its application provide a distinctive edge for exponential growth. Self-knowledge is critical for self-transformation. It provides deeper understanding of self, viz; what it is and what it does, how it regulates and provides common-sense wisdom for its practical application in life. It provides much needed clarity about our true self, evaluation of world around our self, our purpose and competencies requiring mastery to achieve self-transformation. This book will also touch upon deeper understanding of neuropsychology of self and its true nature for high performance and happiness giving insights into human nature and its behavior. Abhaya Tiwari provides insights and guidance to parents, students, teachers, and working professionals to achieve what we set out to be in life and to be content and happy.
