Have you ever read a message and felt like it was meant just for you? Like the Universe was reaching out to you? That is how I felt with author Alma Lightbody’s You’re Not the Boss of Me: Discovering Your Authentic Self. I found the book to be an interesting, easy read that resonated with this time in my life. I believe when an author can make you glimpse into the core of your soul that a true success has been accomplished.
I have always had an interest in self-help books and trying to better myself, so this book was right up my alley. But when choosing a word to describe this book, I consider this one impactful. I found this one to really make me think and wonder if I am blocking myself from living the life that was meant for me. I found the thought questions provoking and really was able to explore what in my life might be holding me back.
As I was living with not one but several chronic conditions, I found the chakra chapter to be illuminating. I have always spent money on one doctor and another, as well as myriads of medications, but I have only recently started exploring holistic medicine. I strongly believe bodies are an amazing system and naturally must work together. Symptoms in one place certainly manifest itself in other areas. I found the writing on this subject to be remarkably interesting and it has piqued my interest in finding out more.
I liked how the author shared past experiences while keeping the reader focused on themselves and their journey. You can tell a lot of thought, as well as experience, went into the writing. I would have liked to have seen more of a workbook of exercises and thought questions in the book but that is what is next to come.
Overall, I enjoyed Alma C. Lightbody’s You’re Not The Boss of Me: Discovering Your Authentic Self and found it to be helpful.
