Publisher's Synopsis
Self-discovery is essential if we are to live authentic and satisfying lives, and in Who Do You Think You Are? An Introduction to Self-Discovery, Dr. Tony Gough gives us the tools to leave behind the person we have become in order to discover the person we could be. Fundamental to the pursuit of happiness is the question of our personal identity. It is the author’s contention – based on his psychotherapeutic practice of over forty years – that most people not only do not know who they are, but they actually dislike who they think they are. Dr. Gough challenges the assumption that we are fixed, predictable and permanent, that we are all just victims of our genetic make-up, our DNA, our upbringing, our culture, and encourages us to leave our past behind for a more positive future. Who Do You Think You Are? drives to the heart of our individuality and our uniqueness as people, and introduces us to the building blocks of personal identity. Along the way the book guides us into removing the past out of our present and allowing ourselves to emerge into new and vibrant beings.
