ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that leading integrated care can disturb peoples' inner peace, and describes three different ways of losing inner peace. The three different ways are: losing peoples' sense of self; being uncertain about when and where to act; and becoming overwhelmed by the number of different things. The chapter examines things that help to maintain inner peace. The inner peace is maintained by retaining narrative unity, confidence in peoples' vision and control. Narrative unity means that people want to make their lives coherent as positive whole stories. 'Vision' means ideas about the world and sensory perceptions. Maintaining control in a complex, changing world means making sense of its various strands. In the language of narrative unity, self-actualisation involves mental and emotional agility to move quickly between different parts of the life, checking that they make sense as a whole.
