Let’s talk about Lindsay Gibson’s book “Who You Were Meant to Be”!
Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson draws a practical road map to leave old habits behind and create healthier new ones! Her book shows us how to whip up a new path forward to help our cakewalk! Only then we can ‘discover’ or ‘recover’ –in the vocabulary of Gibson – the true purpose of our lives. Her book helps us become the people we were meant to be and we want to become.
The book talks about finding our purpose in life. We all desire to find that purpose. But the irony lies in the fact that many of us are stuck with a life noit shaped by us rather we are living the lives of our parents' desires and their dreams. Our family, friends, and by extension the whole of society impose upon us their own expectations. But that's not for us to fulfill, we have to maneuver our own journey exclusive of their expectations. We have to be mindful to understand how the ancestral fears and frustrations affect our lives, sabotage our journey and stand in the way of our own dreams, our lives' true purposes. We have to put our best foot forward to take the journey of our personal growth, and we start at freeing ourselves from the doubts and defeats of the past imposed upon them by our surroundings.
The best part about the book is the clinical background of the author, which provides a book a sort of overarching scientific structure to understand and device a roadmap towards our true purpose. This book addresses diverse mental health issues, in-depth and detail, explores feelings of helplessness, and hopelessness, and devices self actualizing methods to deal with such fears.
In the book Dr. Gibson presents her arguments in a unique manner offering a mixture of inspiring quotes and pragmatic advices, in perfect balance. Thus, this book has an immense power to actualize people who had learned to cope with failures, with a new zeal to win. Maybe the book addresses the people who have been, so far, reluctant to put their own dreams and desires first, instead of others, and be in control of their own lives. It provides a practical road map for its readers to grow out of old habits and helps them forge a healthier path. This would be the path that helps us, all of us, ‘discover’ and ‘recover’ our true purpose in life and we can finally be the people we were meant to be!
