COMP CLOSED | Book Giveaway | Knowing You

Packed with case studies and practical examples, Knowing You explains how to move on from self-blame and procrastination to living lives that are personally fruitful, happy and fulfilling.

Many people spend a lifetime waiting for something to happen to them before their life can be changed. Winning the lottery; getting a better job; starting a new relationship; moving house; making more money; being in better health etc, yet it never happens. Humans are at the mercy of what-ever comes their way, and they often blame those things for their circumstances. This leads to a blame mentality.

In Knowing You, Dr Amanda Foo-Ryland reveals how external elements cannot make life better and that it is in fact, when and how people take control of their lives, change course and become their own navigators that things actually start to change for them.

Amanda is a TedX and International Keynote Speaker and Author. Together with her team, she has worked for many years with thousands of clients around the globe to help them achieve lasting personal change. Throughout the book Amanda dispels the idea that such personal development is challenging, takes too much time, is expensive, or can only come in pill form. Instead, she explains how change can be achieved easily from within.

Knowing You is the book everyone should read if they are curious about what makes them who they are. It unpacks the process of self-examination, helping readers to discover, observe and investigate their own minds, to delete the beliefs that do not serve them and install new ones that do. This process is known as neural coding.

“We can change what we believe because all beliefs are just neural coding – information processed by our neurons. Given that we can change what we believe about external things to us, we can also change our beliefs at our core,” says Amanda.

Packed with case studies and practical examples, Knowing You explains how to move on from self-blame and procrastination. Readers will begin to recognise how their unconscious mind works and how to identify, erase and replace limiting beliefs with alternatives.

Amanda encourages the reader to adopt a ‘life is happening for me mindset’, always looking for the bigger meaning and understand that there are lessons to be learned from the obstacles in life.

“If you want to become a better version of yourself, you will need to really look at yourself and become your own detective”, says Amanda. “You will uncover truths about yourself that will make sense, clear things up for you and allow you to create a happiness and freedom that is probably unimaginable right now.”

Knowing You is the perfect read for those ready to take charge and commit to making a real change in their lives. Providing the reassurance that the only thing holding them back is what they believe, it allows readers to push their self-doubt to the side, in favour of beliefs that better serve them. Empathetic, motivational and informative, this book will empower readers to transform their lives into something personally fruitful, happy and fulfilling.
