In Emotional Alchemist, the last volume of the trilogy, Athena allows herself to dive deep into the esoteric aspects of her teachings first in an effort to demystify our self-development and remove the false concepts linked to our healing process, with the purpose of removing the illusory from what it is real. Then, she takes the same abstract concepts and makes them concrete, simple, effective, and presents easy-to-follow techniques. For readers familiar with Montanari, it should be an enjoyable, easy jump from her past work to this new exploration. For new followers, all that's required in order to enjoy it is an open mind. She provides a clear and new look at how to live a more fulfilling life.

Pain and suffering could potentially be the doorway to the expansion of our consciousness, allowing us to navigate through a close exploration of our shadowy and intimate quest.
