Customer Reviews

A definite must read...more than once!

This is a wonderful book on revealing the layers of ourselves and what we take for granted in our daily living. John Buffini has opened up or re-opened up many things about how and why I get the best out of myself and how to work and live with the important people and family. It is amazing to have the words jump of the page as I read them to get a better understanding of who I am and want to become. Be prepared to make notes and work exercises that will be helpful for the long term as you learn to become a better version of yourself. Very enjoyable experience, to having a good life!

Less Stress through better Understanding!

"Be Yourself" focuses on helping people understand themselves better through great stories and tremendous "word pictures". There are so many positive aspects of the book it's hard to describe in under 1,000 words. One of the benefits that may not be obvious at first, though, is the ability to have better relationships with others around you. Reading the book helps you to understand not just how you tick but how others around you tick as well. So for me, "Be Yourself" allows me to appreciate not only my own gifts and abilities but other's as well. Understanding that we all naturally have different gifts and abilities and learn and understand things differently, reduces my stress level in both business and personal relationships. I'd recommend this book to anyone that wants to better understand themselves and those around them.

Why Can't You Be Normal ? ? ?

Yes ... I've been asked that question ... and ... yes ... I have also had the urge to ask that question. However, this book provided insight into personality dynamics between and within myself and others ... thus helping me understand how silly that question actually is. The primary benefits of having read this book ... are that I feel better able to celebrate my victories and strengths ... and more importantly ... I am better able to recognize people and environments that are toxic ... to me (i.e. not toxic in an absolute sense). This has made it easier for me to exercise the power of choice ... by either consciously making allowances ... or intentionally disassociating. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about self-improvement ... in an absolute sense.

The Fast Track to Happiness

I'm so grateful that I was given a copy of this book by a friend. John Buffini has explained the human condition with remarkable accuracy. I now understand myself on a much deeper level and am able to live my life in a way that is finally meaningful and rewarding to me - the way I actually am instead of the way I always thought I was "supposed" to be. Many of the things that I would have changed about myself I've now learned are some of my greatest abilities. Learning to champion those abilities as well as how to appropriately manage and restrain them has become a huge part of my dramatically improved personal and professional success. What a remarkable journey and gift - one that I intend to share with everyone I care about. I wouldn't want anyone to miss the path to true individual happiness that I have found. Thank you John Buffini!

Find out what makes you tick.

This is one of the most clearly written, easy-to-understand books on how to learn what makes us tick. It will help you to figure out who you are and what path to follow. It helps to understand the people around you as well. Easy to read, easy to follow. . . I highly recommend it to all those who would like to become all they can be.
