Marianne Williamson live in seminar leads the audience (and the listener) through a series of exercises and insights designed to foster emotional growth and maturity. Williamson's point that we must acknowledge past pain, but then move on, rather than dwelling on old hurts, is especially helpful.

Williamson's humor is evident; it's as if one is having a chat with a wise and trusted friend rather than being lectured by a guru. Her self-help message is laced with wisdom and plain common sense, which is, of course, all too uncommon in our world.
