Essence & Appearance Cecilia de Campos Goes

In her teenager years, the author read "To Have or To Be?" by Erich Fromm and it has created her concern about questions that involve the essence and appearance of all things and human beings. With all her experience along her career, she can write this book that is a mixture of reports, memories, but mainly reflections, which constitute an invitation to the readers to go into his or her own self, searching for his or her essence that human beings are getting far from. The excessive concern about appearance, put us bitterly away from essence: ours and the others. Then, this is this book's appeal: searching ways to be aware that what we have inside of us is, certainly, everything we need. Therefore, we can practice the empathy we need urgently to fulfill ourselves with absolute human values, facing relationships crisis, lack of compassion, added to a life taken by the media and the excessive dependence to technology. This book describes the trajectory to analyze all these questions, seeking to approximate the human being to him or herself and to alchemize his or her relationship with the world.
