Synopsis

You know who you are, right? Of course you do, you're you! But what if who you think you are is actually holding you back, closing off exciting opportunities that are right in front of you, and preventing you from achieving your best potential? This book explores the concept of self-narrative, or the stories that we tell ourselves about who we are and our place in the world.

The author explores how understanding our own self-narratives and challenging them can enable you to change how you think about yourself and open up those opportunities that you could be missing. Using examples from his own journey, the author provides a process that you can follow to increase your own self-awareness, understanding what your self-narrative says and how it impacts your daily life, and gives a template on how to make changes to your narrative.

We are powerful storytellers, telling ourselves our most impactful story of all. By understanding and changing your story you can make real positive change in your life. Use your own story to learn, grow and achieve what you want.

Review

"After reading this exceptionally well-written book, I now have a clearer understanding of the negativity you can cause in your life and the lives of others by labeling people.I liked the way the author uses his own life experiences to prove each point made. He has created quite a thought-provoking book...Your inner voice is the one constant in your life and if this is limiting your self belief, then this book will help you change that."  - Lesley Jones, Readers Favorite 5/5
