THE BOOK OF TRUTH: The Mastery Trilogy: Book II

By Paul Selig

Whether we realize it or not, the vast majority of us define ourselves by the expectations established by our society, culture, family, and community. We internalize constructs based on external stereotypes of gender, age, race, social standing, or a myriad of other categorizations. And as a result, we often embrace lives that do not reflect our deepest desires.

This insight comes not from a psychologist or self-help guru, but from celebrated medium Paul Selig. In THE BOOK OF TRUTH: The Mastery Trilogy: Book II (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale June 6, 2017), Selig offers readers the enlightened and panoramic perspective of his spiritual guides, who share with him their otherworldly wisdom. The second installment of a highly-anticipated trilogy that started with Selig’s The Book of Mastery, THE BOOK OF TRUTH places an entirely new valuation on human relationships, and begins first by transforming our own understanding of who we really are.

Revealing simple truths behind the seeming complexities of our relationships, Selig’s Guides teach readers how friends, loved ones, and even enemies reflect our interior worlds; how we can discover freedom through forgiveness; and how to cultivate healthy relationships with others.  Offering a fresh point of view that extends beyond the usual self-help advice, THE BOOK OF TRUTH presents a depth of understanding that will help readers address the underlying issues that prevent them from creating the lives and relationships that they truly desire.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: In his breakthrough works of channeled literature, author and medium Paul Selig has recorded an extraordinary program for personal and planetary evolution. Selig was born in New York City and received his master’s degree from Yale. He had a spiritual experience in 1987 that left him clairvoyant. As a way to gain a context for what he was beginning to experience, he studied a form of energy healing, working at Marianne Williamson’s Manhattan Center for Living and in his own private practice. In the process, he began to “hear” for his clients, and much of Selig’s work now is as a clairaudient, clairvoyant, channel, and empath. Selig has led channeled energy groups for many years and published his first book of channeled learnings, I Am the Word, in 2010. He is the subject of the short documentary film Paul & the Word, i0s featured on the A&E/Biography channel series The UneXplained, and is the subject of an episode of ABC’s Nightline. He often appears on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Paul’s recent and upcoming workshops include The Kripalu Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, and the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. Also a noted playwright and educator, Paul serves on the faculty of NYU and directs the MFA in creative writing program at Goddard College. He lives in New York City, where he maintains a private practice as an intuitive. The Book of Truth is Paul Selig’s fifth book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: DR. MAXWELL MALTZ (1889-1975) received his doctorate in medicine from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in 1923. After postgraduate work in plastic surgery in Europe, Maltz was appointed to head several departments of reparative surgery in New York hospitals over his long and distinguished career. He was a prominent international lecturer on the psychological aspects of plastic surgery. He published two books on the subject, New Faces, New Futures and Dr. Pygmalion. In the 1950s, Maltz became increasingly fascinated by the number of patients who came to him requesting surgery who had greatly exaggerated “mental pictures” of their physical deformities, and whose unhappiness and insecurities remained unchanged even after he gave them the new faces they desired. In 1960, after nearly a decade of counseling hundreds of such patients, extensive research, and testing his evolving theory of “success conditioning” on athletes, salespeople, and others, he published his findings—then radical ideas—in the first edition of Psycho-Cybernetics, which went on to sell millions of copies and to be translated in dozens of languages.
