PERFECTLY YOURSELF 9 Lessons for Enduring Happiness

Advertising, cultural prescriptions, and even piano lessons can keep us from being ourselves, says the resonant workshop leader and personal change author. More about self-acceptance than getting things done, this production urges us to applaud our efforts even when they fall short and to discover our individual melodies instead of reading music written by others. His nine lessons are more meditative than prescriptive. Without self-acceptance, our change efforts will work against our true natures and run into too much resistance to ever succeed. Clear tones and relaxed pacing make the author’s voice sound especially rich. He sounds psychologically inviting, respectful toward his listeners, and open to connecting with them. T.W.
