This book and its author, Peter Michaelson, changed my life and that of my husband and two grown sons. Our inner passivity can be so elusive that we don't even realize that it's running our world. Not just personally, but politically, globally, and universally.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. My personal opinion is that our inner passivity is the deepest layer of our psyches, and without uncovering how it's running our own world, and the WHOLE world, we will continue on a road of misery.

If you've read self-help books, or been to a therapist, and feel as if you merely put a big bandaid on your woes without truly experiencing a healing, read this book. It will heal you at the deepest level.

For anyone who wants to get to the root of self-defeating behaviors and thought patterns, this book is for you. Peter Michaelson gets to the heart of passivity and how by being present deep in our psyche, it effects everything we do. He unveils how by passivity being present, and how we are unconsciously are drawn to negativity, we repeat old, self-defeating patterns of behavior. Not pop psychology or sensationalized fluff, this thorough, thought provoking information will get to the root of whatever issues one may be having. I'm reading this book for the second time & I'm sure I will be reading it again. The wealth of knowledge contained in the book in invaluable!!

the author has rendered a tremendous service to the reader by his honest and in-depth writing on the subject of Inner Passivity.

The crippler Passivity has kept more people in bondage and robbed them of enjoying a happy and successful life.

If only Peter Michaelson could hold teaching sessions around the country to get this VITAL message out to those that may not have the opportunity of read his book.

The Phantom of the Psyche not only helps the reader to look within for self discovery, but to also look outward at others in a much more understanding way.

Inner Passivity needs to be exposed and explained, this book has done that

I highly recommend it.

bought another for my husband. and he bought one for his therapist! this is a very good piece of work and has been of tremendous assistance as we work on our healing. (thank you, peter!)
