Philosophy, Psychology, Principles, Practice: The Four Ps to Your Introspective Transformation

Philosophy, Psychology, Principles, Practice: The Four Ps to Your Introspective Transformation, is a traditionally looking, new-wave encompassing book of the self-help, improvement genre that is designed to act as a guide for those struggling to overcome memories of their past, address current elements of their present, in order to move on with their life for the future.

Broken up into four different acts, the book covers a variety of topics that runs alongside the growth one goes through their transformation. Included, but not limited to; Rejection, Loneliness, Structured perspective, sex, love/dating, fitness, college and careers, all heart of it, the author calls back to significant moments in their own life as a way to relate the reader closer to their own experiences. Its audience is anyone who feels stuck, suffers from severe anxiety, longs for success, and dreams of peace.

In the regards to the structure, it is a narrative that is neither non-linearly linear, or linearly non-linear whilst being both simultaneously. Meaning, someone, depending on their questions revolving around their current self, can go to the contents, choose a section, and work back and subsequently forward.

In order to help illustrate the author's unique perspective and own thought process, each chapter also utilizes a diverse range of sources and references from well-known people of history and the like. At the heart of the book, is a grand philosophical undertone that points to an enlightened or 'higher way' of thinking. It is this path of introspection, that will inevitably bring forth an overall awareness away from a false existence, to human of true being.

Residing from a small country town just outside the northern peninsulas of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Justin Mark Bauer grew up as what could be described as the perfect archetype of the 'nice guy'. A naturally introverted and observant person, his desire to see the best in both himself, others and life, would always become consumed within a cycle of rejection, loneliness, unsureness, overthinking and eventually, guilt. Years after graduating university in a Bachelor's Degree in Communication, his need to constantly analyses, reflect and improve on past events/experiences, eventually resulted in the conception and completion of what up until now, is his 'life's work'. A guide for those who are, once like he was, struggling to uncover the answers that will ultimately set them free. He deeply hopes this manuscript provides each reader, no matter their age, gender, creed or cultural background, a sense of salvation, freedom, belonging, calm and most of all, hope. His interests extending far beyond the field of writing, J.M.B further instils his deep passion of self-improvement and introspection. These include, but are not limited to; poetry, exercise/fitness, video-games, photography, cinema, the occasional session of light sightseeing, the martial arts, and of course...cricket.
