Publisher's Synopsis
Seeing someone for who they really are. What exactly does that mean and how will it impact your life if you start to do it? That is the answer Thomas Fellows seeks to explain in his 7th book, "When You See It: Belief in the Uncertainty."
The title of the book is a play on the phrase, "I'll believe it when I see it." Through Fellows' use of movies such as Beauty in the Beast, Field of Dreams, Shrek, music by Eve 6, All-American Rejects, Alicia Keys, Shania Twain, classic literature such as "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, "To Dance with The White Dog" by Terry Kay, historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert E. Lee, and the books of Genesis and Matthew from the Bible, and the improbable relationship tech CEO Bill McDermott and himself, Fellows encourages you to glance through the clutter and see people for who they really are. What if instead of saying, "I'll believe it when I see it," you gain the humility in the first place to see someone the way they were meant to be seen?
If you purchase a copy of When You See It, expect some original quotes from Fellows like the one below:
"The cover-or the outside-distracts us from seeing what's on the inside more often than not even though it contains no content-or, nothing to learn from. When people refer to what percentage of a book they've read, they often describe their progress by the number of pages they've read; they're telling you how much content they have gotten through; only then can they truly judge a book. Judge people the same way. Count the pages you've read before you start drawing conclusions."
