Counselor and therapist Dr. Beth Blevins Cujé's original approach to self-help addresses two questions, "Why am I this way?" and "How do I change?" Her new book, Become the Person You Were Meant to Be, both answers these questions and equips readers for change with a mental framework for self-monitoring, simple tools for change, and four keys steps to guide readers as they change. According to Cujé, normal feelings of defensiveness and self-protection can be dangerous when individual become stuck in those postures. She points out that readers can use her method to check bodily stress, negative emotions, painful and distorted thoughts, and misdirected desires. Then once aware of those reactions, they can learn to take responsibility for them and use her Choice-Cube tools and four key steps to make necessary changes. The author believes this method can benefit therapists as well as secular readers and believers. "Real-life examples lend credibility and authenticity to the program...Individuals seeking to better themselves might find that the author's insightfulness and the Choice-Cube Method work well for them." - ForeWord Clarion Reviews
