Know thyself is the central theme of Embracing Change. On the surface, this sounds like an easy thing to accomplish, something that all of us should automatically be doing. However, anyone who has actually stopped for a single moment and looked deep into their hearts to really truly find themselves knows this is can be quite an overwhelmingly difficult task. Just understanding how societal views, childhood experiences, and fears of perceived judgment fashion us into who we become is difficult enough but then we have to dig even deeper to discover our real self beneath all that mess.
Embracing Change is a good starter book for anyone willing to look into those depths. The chapters are fairly short and precise while speaking in an easy going everyday language that virtually anyone will comprehend. Still, while reading through these chapters, I never felt that the author was trying to dumb down the process or talk down to me. I felt more like I had a peer going through the process with me. I think this feeling is especially important to those first starting on their path of exploration because often it is hard to get through the initial worries that someone is going to laugh at or judge you.
