Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The brain will try to take over your thoughts and actions, and will make you believe that you are not good enough, but that you are flawed and imperfect.

#2 True self is the voice of reason that tells you to stop and think before you act. It is the part of you that makes you feel in control of your life, and it is what you should be striving to keep. Deceptive brain messages are the thoughts and impulses that take you away from your true goals and intentions.

#3 According to your true self, you should strive to embody the values and achieve the goals you truly believe in. You should approach yourself, your true emotions, and your needs from a loving, caring, and nurturing perspective that is consistent with how your loving inner guide sees you.

#4 The Wise Advocate is the aspect of your attentive mind that can see the bigger picture and understand your inherent worth, capabilities, and accomplishments. It wants the best for you because it loves and cares for you.
