Originally published in Italian in 1966 as Psicosintesi: Per l’armonia della vita, Creating Harmony in Life provides a fundamental overview of psychosynthesis by bringing together the early lectures of Roberto Assagioli. These lectures explore what psychosynthesis is and how it can be applied towards the practice of personal and spiritual self-development.

A great book for anyone new to psychosynthesis, Creating Harmony in Life is also a treasure trove for experienced psychosynthesis practitioners, with Assagioli’s nuggets of wisdom waiting to be discovered, contemplated, and put into practice.

This seminar includes 12 meetings, with each meeting focusing on one of the twelve chapters of the book. The book can be purchased on Amazon. Participants are encouraged to read the chapter that will be discussed during the month’s meeting and come prepared to share what struck, surprised, or inspired them.

What others have said about Creating Harmony in Life

Creating Harmony in Life provides an excellent introduction to psychosynthesis, transpersonal psychology and psychospiritual development. This skillful and eloquent translation brings Roberto Assagioli’s wisdom of the transpersonal dimension of human experience to an even wider audience. In addition to Assagioli’s work, the book offers a comprehensive and beautifully written biographical chapter: “Roberto Assagioli: A Multifaceted Life.” Whether new to this work or a long time practitioner, this is an important resource that is also a pleasure to read. Highly recommended to anyone seeking to deepen connection to the wisdom and gentle, transformational power of psychosynthesis.
Susan Jewkes Allen, Executive Director Synthesis Center San Francisco

This elegant translation by Catherine Ann Lombard is a timely arrival providing a wonderful introduction to the key principles of psychosynthesis a century after they were first presented. Insightful and accessible, the book fills an important gap in Assagioli’s canon in English by describing the major concepts of psychosynthesis supported by quotes and illustrative examples. I read my copy avidly and have since recommended it to many friends and clients around the world. The current state of the planet suggests an urgent need for such ideas.
