Discovery A Road Map to Your True Self - by Steve Stroud & Lara Hovda (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Discovery- A Road Map to Your True Self is a self-empowering journey.

If you have ever felt lost, wondering how you ended up where you are, or felt that somehow you have misplaced your sense of self or your way, then this is the guidebook for you.

This Road Map is so valuable that it will become your new "go-to toolbox." It's full of ideas, directions, interactive exercises, and superpowers that will support you in centering, focusing, and coming back to your True Self, again and again.

Your True Self is the place where you are so comfortable, known, held, loved, and recognized. It's a place where you tell yourself the truth. Where you are true and authentic. Is it easy to get there or be there? NOPE. That's why we wrote a book about the journey it takes to find it. I-T. A journey to your True Self. At home, inside of you. This journey will get you from shaky to solid, from not OK to OK, from feeling unworthy to finding your value and your voice.

Using the language of an adventurous road trip, this Road Map, like any map, will guide you through both familiar and new territory. It is a map to your superpowers: intuition, self-value, healthy boundaries, walking the higher road, saying YES when you want to and NO when you need to, self-compassion, clarity, and giving yourself permission to choose the life you want to live.

Review Quotes

Imagine a road trip like no other. Imagine your best self, the person you always wanted to be. "Discovery: A Road Map To Your True Self" has a clearly navigated route to move you along your journey of self discovery.

The well-defined GPS takes you on each step. The tone is conversational and encouraging. One quickly understands that the speaker/guide/friend has been on this trip and grasps the detours and 'recalculations' that can derail progress. This person has knowledge that is never pedantic, always supportive, and inspires you to learn and grow from your own process. What a delightful departure from many of the self-help tomes floating about the universe.

This adventure is charming, engaging, encouraging, and effective. It's a marvelous way to shine a light on YOU. You probably spend most of your time and energy doing for others. Here's a way to balance that generosity toward others by filling your own cup, discovering the best you have for yourself and others.

Suzanne MacPherson

Lara and Steve managed to bring fresh insight to a foundational topic breathing life into the journey of self discovery. I am moved by the compassionate loving motivation underlying the entirety of the book. I honor the knowledge and experience of both of these guides and feel fortunate that such wisdom has been offered to us through the precious result of this writing. I wish to humbly acknowledge that without the kindness support and patience of people like this the courage to take the journey of self discovery might not come as easily to fruition. This Mini manual is a must read for everyone and anyone who wonders if they've ever been lost in their wandering but now can learn how the wondering actually is the working.

Steve Stroud and Lara Kenoyer provide an essential roadmap for the contemporary person struggling with overwhelm and feeling lost in finding their authentic balance. The material is easy to digest, provides simple and powerful steps in improving self-awareness and self-compassion, and points the way to finding more truth in oneself. I highly recommend Discovery - from anyone just starting on a path of self-discovery to the seasoned seeker wanting to ensure they cover all their bases.
