A Big Picture

A Big Picture by Doug Favero highlights the vast energies surrounding us, and those residing deep within us, that give us our grounding and all of our possibilities for adventure.

A Big Picture offers readers a series of brief, non-technical essays on the existential foundations that support us human beings, all the way from the Universe, itself; to the Earth; to our Homo sapiens natures, bodies, and psyches. Readers are encouraged to build on what they learn from the essays—and from their own answers to the author's self-reflection questions—to form more textured pictures of who they are and how they can develop in the realms of spirituality, human compassion, work, politics, sports, and the Arts.

He then taught history and worked as a school psychologist in the Washington D.C. public schools. For the past forty years, he has conducted a psychotherapy practice in D.C.
