Each one of us has a medley of "faces" that composes our individual personality: intelligence, anger, love, jealousy, helplessness, courage, and many more. We''re often quick to judge these characteristics as either positive or negative, without recognizing that we need each of them in order to become fuller, more balanced human beings.

We learn how to acknowledge, understand, and manage our many faces—and in doing so, open up a world of possibilities for ourselves.
