Understand Your True Identity (Paperback or Softback)

Understand Your True Identity addresses one of the fundamental problems behind people’s anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.

Dr. Thompson, an experienced family physician, observed how many of his patients felt mixed up and confused, while others cruised through life with everything seemingly under control. What was it that caused the difference between these groups?

Using real-life examples, Dr. Thompson explains the importance of understanding one’s true self by separating one’s inbuilt talents from the negative thoughts that have lodged in one’s head. People are born with genetic strengths and natural inclinations, which should form the basis of their character, but unfortunately, life’s hardships cause people to acquire negative patterns of thinking and a confused sense of self (the mixed bag concept).

With clear methods, Dr. Thompson explains how people can separate these negative beliefs from the true strengths of their personality and learn to equally see the good sides of other people. They can throw away their sensitivities and not get caught up in dysfunctional communication (positive centered psychology).

By rediscovering who they really are, they can start doing more of the things that make them happy and easier to get along with. These principles are something people can base their lives on and apply to group situations—for example, in their family, team, workplace, or organization.

The result? Peace in themselves, peace in their relationships, and peace in their community.
