Whether you are living your life "authentically" or not, this is a MUST read book! Gerard Doyle has done his homework and woven a beautiful book for the novice searching to learn more about themselves and for old timers like myself who thought we knew it all... and once again we learn that we don't. This book is woven together like a fine suit. An excellent guide to balancing one's life! I am motivated by what I read in every chapter and how simple I can apply what I learn to my everyday life. A perfect fit for anyone, like a fine suit. One man's reasoned response to life's unpredictability, favoring reason and considered action rather than intuition and certainly (refreshingly for the genre) neither blind faith nor platitudes. It reminded me of the old practice of making a "commonplace book," where one stitches apt citations into one's personally patterned tapestry of words over one's lifetime.
Being You is about reaching your highest potential through authentic living. It helps you to exercise your own choices and feel and act with confidence and effectiveness in every situation to be free of fear and doubt, to have a life filled with meaning, success, and well-being. This is the freedom to live according to your unique needs, personality, purpose, and values; to be accepted unconditionally for who and what you are; to feel all life's pain as well as its joys; to live from the heart trusting your inner nature and your experience of the world and to accept responsibility for all your actions. The philosophy of Adaptive Freedom, outlined in the book, shows that the ability to adapt and grow is the essence of personal freedom, which is the core of authenticity. You need to be adaptive to be free, and both make it easier to become truly authentic. The power to change and realize the life of your highest imaginings lies in the Freedom Code a set of seven practice pillars offering a liberation path to self-fulfillment, a code to unlock the greatness that lies within. The seven pillars create new ways to guide you through knowledge to self-awareness and purposeful action. They offer a systematic and holistic framework to help you lead a meaningful, successful, happy, and authentic life. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

More detail: self-help books, even those that have solid research behind them, are usually full of anecdotes (people relate well to these stories, whether or not they are true). The reading level is not too high, and they tend to focus on a narrow concern.
Most academic writing is dryer, and in any disciplines, follows a standard format (e.g. in psychological research there is an introduction, method, results, and discussion; review articles are a little more flexible).
Being You brings in a wide range of sources in an organized and focused way. Unfortunately, it is also somewhat boring - I say unfortunately because the book is full of good information. I read quickly, but needed more focus than usual for this book.
Overall, it is a very good book. Sources are referenced, so the reader con go back to the original study or discussion of much of the info that is presented here. Take your time, do not rush, and you will find lots of helpful information here. ( )
