INSPIRATION HEALTH REVIEW THE MISSING ELEMENT: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition by Debra Silverman, MA Findhorn Press In a time of great turmoil on planet earth, a time where we are facing possible destruction of the planet, this book is about getting back to basics by getting in touch with our “elemental hands-on nature” - in other words each of us becoming who we truly are and living from the truth of our beingness. D ebra Silverman is a therapist and astrologer and presents the concepts of how each of us contain the energy of the four elements: water, air, earth, and fire. She helps us understand how each of these manifests in the human personality. There is a brief test to find out which is predominant in your life right now - and it can change - followed by indepth discussion of each. She shows how these four personalities handle life situations, the challenges and lessons each faces, and how to best integrate and live our water, air, earth, and fire personalities. She shows how to get more in touch with our Observer selves also known as the higher self or God-self and how to live from that aspect more often. This is not only an informative and inspirational book to read, the author’s style makes it fun and worthy of deeper study. The book also helps to better understand the other people in our lives so we can be more loving and compassionate to them as well as to ourselves.  Reviewed by Krysta Gibson Publisher of New Spirit Journal 9 | New Consciousness Review
