About Interpersonal Insider

In a nutshell

This blog explores the disconnect between people's actions and words and their values and beliefs. It is intended for readers who have honed the ability to observe themselves and their thoughts. Whether through natural means, mindfulness practices, self-analysis or other means, the key is understanding that we all exist with others - people with emotions, relationships and thoughts, all living in awareness of one another.
