Self Mapping

A similar approach to Brian Mayne's Goal Mapping but applied to you as an individual. Taking you through the steps of producing a pictorial representation of your ideal self.

The approach borders on a philosophy for life in places and I had trouble with the chosen terms self, low-self, high Self and Self (I think these could be improved on to make the book clearer) but there were plenty of thoughtful quotes.

In esscence, the book sets out to help the reader overcom their instinctive reactions to situations and choose the response they would like by understanding ther own personal subconscious drivers. The first part of the book focuses on negative traits holding you back and he second half on who you want to be more often.

A different point of view is simply the view from a point where you are not (physically or mentally) p31
He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is enlightened p25
We can learn from every experience p99
Your level of performance will never besignifiacntly higher than your belief of your ability p41
Life is a scholol wheer the lesson is repeated as often as is necessary p193
The secret of the hapiest peope is that they see the best in everything, in whatever they have p26
