In this book you will find information and exercises to help you discover who you really are and who you really want to be, and to help you develop the confidence to be that person. Excerpt from book: "No matter where you live people have varying artificial ideas about what makes people important. In some areas people admire the football player, or the members of the country club, in other areas they admire wealth alone, in others it's matriculating at an Ivy League School, and still in others it's being a part of a cool gang with specific colors; and it changes even more once you go to other countries. Therefore, you might as well just do what you think is important, what impresses you. Be proud of it, and know that who you are is what makes you special. It's not important to try to fit in other cliques and circles; just have your own circle with you, God and your loved ones at the center of it. If what you do and who you are doesn't impress everyone, the happiness you attain from being yourself and not caring what they think will feel better than their approval ever would."
