The Wisdom of the Chakras : Tools for Navigating the Complexity of Life (9781590561751)

Some people are extremely bright yet emotionally crippled. Others are very loving, yet their daily lives are chaotic. Many have great faith but little clarity, while others are creative but stymied by a lack of confidence. Why are people so lopsided in their development?
