Who are you really?
If you've ever wondered how to be your 'true' or 'authentic' self, if you've experienced inner conflict and indecision, or if you've bounced from one way of looking at things to another (and back) and have felt as if you should stick with one perspective, then this book will bring you some clarity, peace and new possibilities.
Which Self Are You?, by Australian Voice Dialogue teacher Astra Niedra, presents a succinct introduction to the Psychology of Selves, the theory by Dr Hal Stone and Dr Sidra Stone that has revolutionised the way we understand the human personality and consciousness.
Their work revealed we have many parts to our personality, called ‘inner selves’ or simply ‘selves’. And as we mature we consolidate our identity into only one or a few selves that work together, while suppressing or completely disowning others.
This book gives you an overview of 44 selves, including the Pleaser, Inner Critic, Perfectionist, Responsible Self, Achiever, Warrior, Romantic, Spiritual Seeker, Procrastinator, Joker, Adventurer, Princess, Creative, Playful Child, Vulnerable Child, Rebel, Patriarch, the Wise self, and others.
As you read through the descriptions you'll begin to realise which selves are dominant in you and run your life, and which ones don't get much say. You'll start to see how your inner selves affect your identity, self-expression, self-esteem, relationships, career and other choices.
This ebook is a light and entertaining introduction to one of the most empowering personal growth techniques available.
