Final eighth stage

Author Bridget Dingell Gaspard coined the term “the final eighth” to describe a phenomenon she experienced herself and observed in others: talented, energetic, and motivated people take many steps toward a goal (seven-eighths of it) but mysteriously stall. Practical advice and impassioned conversations don't work because the problem—and the solution—lies deeper. While the everyday conscious self says, “I want this,” other inner selves worry that success will put them in some kind of danger. The powerful secret? Not every part of you wants what you think you want! The innovative technique of voice dialogue will help you connect with your ego, whatever your goal may be. In the process, you will discover and liberate your “wise counselors, savvy advisors, and magical sages,” transforming them into valuable allies who will ultimately help you achieve your goals.
