Synopsis

Unlock the person you’ve always wanted to be with four practical steps to lasting change, from life coach BJ Thompson.
 
“BJ Thompson lives what he preaches. And we might just live a little longer for having listened.”—Beth Moore, Living Proof Ministries

Is there a change you’ve been wanting to make, but you don’t know how? Have you tried it all and still can’t figure out how to move forward? BJ Thompson has been there.
 
Born to a teenage mother on the gang-permeated streets of Dallas, BJ understood that as a Black man, his starting place was disadvantaged, under-resourced, and unequipped. But then one day he decided to stop allowing life to “just happen” and to rise above the obstacles set before him. He transformed his life and became a global leader, coaching tens of thousands and influencing millions on their way toward building better lives.
 
Now, BJ wants to help you unlock greater mental, spiritual, relational, and emotional health with a simple four-step process:

1. desperation—identify a problem you desperately want to change
2. information—research the problem, unlearn built-in ideas, and vet data
3. application—build a practical plan and take active steps to make the change
4. transformation—celebrate change and embrace a mindset of continual growth
 
With BJ as your guide, you can start on the path to create the balanced, holistic life you’ve always wanted. Make the choice to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. The only person you’re waiting on is you.

Goodreads review by Sheila

Starting off I was really pulled into the book, and this continued for several pages. There was lots of practical nuggets of truth I found myself highlighting.

Goodreads review by Katie

While there were a lot of good nuggets of information in this book, I felt that at times it lacked a bit of heart. I also didn't realize that this was a book deeply rooted in religion. It will probably be beneficial for most people, but as somebody who has consumed quite a few self-help books, it ju......more
