The Impact of Identity: The Power of Knowing Who You Are

It was an easy book to read and I found the correlation between academic sources and personal experiences interesting. Though, after finishing reading I felt like I have read somewhere else many major topics of this book.

The authors message is simple: ‘There are many things we can do and decisions we can make that reduce fear, bring meaning, and enhance enjoyment while exploring life in our fast-changing world. If you want to make your life better by getting fresh insight and a different perspective— this is the book for you.’This book is intelligent, wise and packed to the rafters with practical common-sense advice. It becomes very obvious as you read through this page turner that the author is imparting her wisdom and understanding as to what identity, happiness and success really means. It’s an excellent guide for putting things into perspective.Profound thoughts are explained here in the simplest of terms. That’s all I can say about this book. It is difficult to write a more objective review because the impact the author will have on you will make you see life and its problems in a wise and practical way. The book should NOT be read – it should be absorbed and reflected upon.The foreword by Leonid Nevzlin puts it well; 'The Impact of Identity: The power of knowing who you are, offers tools to forge a multi-faceted identity, rooted in our unique history and experience. It’s a guide for people who want to lead a meaningful life in an ever-changing world.'Recommended reading and a well-deserved five stars.

The author is telling you very simple day -to- day known facts in an extremely patronising way that make me ask question am I mad reading this but also referring the mental state of the author . The author is saying that the brain should not look for change because it will use too much energy ( according to her brain use only 20% energy .....very much questioned)and in the next chapter she is saying that we have to find new ways of living in order to grow more brain cells and our brain will have more grey matter .....our brain does not grow , it improves the storage and passing information....lts quite a long way to explain, we have to study languages which I support but we have to study in order to question about yourself ....I sound like a lunatic trying to explain sth with her terms of advice/ coaching ....the worst book I ever read , I can't believe that someone will publish it.
