An Other Perspective

About the Book

An Other Perspective
By Heikkie Dean

Goodness in the world, and wellness in a person, derive from a common source. Heikkie Dean’s “An Other Perspective” aims to provide a recipe for evolution of the individual, and, by extension, society.

In a work that brilliantly combines personal experience, common sense and real life epiphanies, author and therapist Heikkie Dean has provided a path toward a better, happier and more virtuous life. We progress alongside Heikkie through a series of parables and activities that spiral us inward, allowing us to see how what is false and limiting must be exposed before we can achieve genuine and enduring change.

“An Other Perspective” provides an effective and compelling venue for the exploration of ones life direction by asking the following:

Who am I?
How do I feel?
What do I believe?
What do I desire?
How do I go forward?

As all of us suffer from a tendency to dwell upon our past experiences, we often model our future on what has already occurred. While experience is a great teacher, when we allow it to become our master, we loose our ability to respond spontaneously and honestly to people, situations and opportunities.

Heikkie has distilled and perfected a series of exercises that allow expression of a part of oneself that is blocked and frozen into a repetitive and negative pattern of thought, feeling or action. The themes include: self-esteem, self-image, relationship with family, fear and anxiety, stress and anger as well as hope, joy, confidence, love and altruism.

By the conclusion of the book, and our last exercise, we have come to understand that choice is positive intent expressed through virtuous and authentic action. In developing an ability to engage more effectively with reality, we also achieve greater sense of personal harmony and spiritual wellness. Every choice, whether small or large, is an act of transformation, creating within each of us the foundation for “an other perspective”.
