The questions inside will help you hear each aspect of your inner self, and the stories will inspire you.

--Laura Belsten, PhD, founder of the Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence"Gael has written a book for our times.

"This book may well be the most important book you ever read! As a transformative, soul-centered coach, I will recommend it to everyone I know--peers and clients alike. With wisdom and warmth, Gael has transmuted her powerful personal experiences and decades-long passion for clinical work into a highly accessible blueprint for transformation that is not only easy to read, but chock full of interesting stories and tremendously valuable exercises that anyone can do to connect more deeply with who they really are."
--Bonnie Bright, PhD, founder, Depth Psychology Alliance"In Be Wise Now, Gael McCool has given us a magnificent and compassionate guide to access and recover our intuitive wisdom. From her deep wealth of experience, this book brings clarity to each facet of our human condition needing integration and personal transformation. In beautiful language, Gael reveals the essential 'deeper stories' of the Self. This book gives us a new, practical, working vision of our multidimensional self. In an inclusive and integrated way, it redefines our potential for joy, depth, healing, and wisdom." --Joseph Culp,
cofounder of Walking-In-Your-Shoes empathetic process workshops"The word 'wisdom' is used a lot. We hear about the journey to be wise, to learn from wise people, to look to wisdom on a subject matter to learn and improve. However, it also seems to be a word that is always out of reach. That it is outside oneself--and that with the right practice, we may be wise one day. What I really cherished about Gael's book was the understanding that wisdom really comes from a deep and profound introspection, and that looking into oneself, that wisdom is present and patiently waiting to be unearthed. That through awareness and the practice of profound consciousness, we are complex and rich beings with our own story to tell and discover. Thanks, Gael, for the amazing read, which has provided the opportunity to know myself at a deeper level."
