A note from the Author

I never actually set out to write this book.

I’ve always been fascinated by what makes us who we are.  Why we think the way we do, why we respond differently to the same experiences and how our emotions influence the way we live our lives.

My journey began with some personal research into human emotions.  I wanted to understand them better for myself, to explore why we feel what we feel and how greater awareness might help us make positive changes in our lives.

The more I discovered, the more fascinated I became.  I found so much information that I felt was simply too valuable to keep to myself and somewhere along the way, my personal research became a book.

Discover Your Essence: Level 1 – The Human Experience is the first step in a five-level journey of self-discovery, understanding and personal growth.

I didn’t want to create a book that tells you how you should think or feel.  Instead, I wanted to offer something you could explore in your own way, at your own pace. Time to have a really good look at what makes you… you.

I recommend reading the introduction first, as it explains how to get the most from the book.  After that, there’s no need to read from beginning to end.  You can dip in and out, exploring the emotions that interest you, concern you or perhaps represent something you’d like to understand or change within yourself.

At the back of the book, you’ll also find space to record your own journey.  By writing down your thoughts, experiences and discoveries, you can look back over time and recognise how your understanding and responses may have changed.

There are no right or wrong answers and no expectations about how quickly you should progress.  This is your journey, and your experiences are uniquely yours.

For me, understanding ourselves isn’t about becoming somebody different.  It’s about recognising who we already are, discovering what has influenced us and perhaps finding a little more peace with the person looking back at us in the mirror.

My hope is that somewhere within these pages, you’ll discover a thought that makes you stop, a question that opens a new door or a little piece of understanding that stays with you.

Because sometimes the most interesting journey we can take is the one that leads us back to ourselves.
