Are You Who You Want To Be?
BY NAVINDRAN PALUSAMY
‘Become the Person You Always Wanted to Be’ is a self-improvement book authored by the famed public speaker and corporate trainer, Steve Chandler. The writer asserts that the failure to know the psychological and emotional weaknesses within us and the external negativity surrounding us are the reasons for our failure. To realize our full potential and lead a meaningful and happy life we need to know what these factors are.
He likens our mind to a ‘cocoon’ that traps us into negative or limited thinking about who we are and what we can become. If we can rid the mind of negative elements then we can realize the beauty, strength and true potential that lie within us. This 218-page book has 46 chapters. Each chapter focuses and examines a particular facet of human life such as the way we think, feel, relate and respond to people and environment.
The writer clearly highlights our foibles and asserts that most of us are conditioned to think in set patterns. This conditioned state of mind and social behavior imposes great limitations on our development into a wholesome human being who is able to realize his full potential.
Each chapter is narrated with interesting anecdotes, words of wisdom spiced with scientific truths. Interesting examples of real life heroes adorn every chapter. The writer taps on the wisdom of ancient and modern thinkers to substantiate his arguments and thesis.
This book is a valuable read for all of us who are full of self-doubts, self-incrimination or always blame the whole world for our shortcomings. As the writer puts it, if you want to free yourself from being feeling ‘victimized’ and become the ‘winner’ you must know yourself and discover who you really are. Then you can become what you really want.
This book is a voyage of self-discovery and a good read for the young and old as one of the quotes in the book says, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been” - George Eliot
