A producer from the Oprah Show contacted me through a publicist and asked for two paragraphs "pitching" why they should have me on their show. I wrote: Most of us don’t know who we really are at depth—only knowing what we believe on the surface and not knowing where those beliefs come from. And the consequences of our ignorance are enormous. We have no basis for accountability. We blame circumstances outside ourselves for everything: wives blame husbands, nations blame nations, political parties blame the opposition, and religions vilify one another. Yet no one is personally accountable. As a result, our families are unstable, our nation and its institutions in disarray, and the world is in turmoil. In truth, we each are the source of our own problems as well as the problems in the world. We are blind to the fact that we have created a divisive world. We have done insufficient self-examination to know who we are and how we are constructed. We don’t know what we actually believe or what our decisions are based upon. Senator John McCain said that it took his lonely incarceration as a prisoner of war to peel off layers of beliefs and discover who he truly was. Leslie Reynolds-Benns, PhD, has a solution that is easier than becoming a prisoner of war. She provides a means for each individual to look inside and identify and release the psychic clutter that clouds our access to the source of our beliefs. In her book, Confession is Good for MORE than the Soul, she delineates a new definition of confession, ferreting out and releasing the unnecessary unconscious and unexamined beliefs stored in each individual’s psyche. She presents this with a workbook that asks feeling- and thought-provoking questions on hot-button issues. She creates a means for people to discover who they are, someone they can be accountable for, and then they will naturally support having a world that works for everyone.
