"Read this book to help others. Read this book for yourself. "
Available in Paperback and on Kindle from Amazon.
This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand people whether that is yourself or those around you. As the title suggests, it’s a guide to figuring out who you are and developing your own identity away from the constraints of your own personal circumstances. The author talks to you as I believe he would a friend and you feel you have a therapist at your fingertips.
At the end of each chapter there are questions to reflect on, helping you to identify parts self embedded into your history that you may not have realised were there. In reading this book you will automatically become conscious of coping mechanisms around you and be aware of genuine solutions to improve and better yourself from music, films and books. In the words of the author, Jim LaPierre, a seasoned mental health therapist, “I promise there’s nothing in this book you can’t do”. LaPierre specialises in trauma and addiction but this is truly a book for everyone. You do not need to come from a troubled background to need healing from life. Reading it will give you a new awareness of the behaviour of those around you, from colleagues, your children, your spouse, family and friends.
Read this book if you have children, you are raising children. Read this book if you are married or single. Read this book if you work or are unemployed. Read this book to help others. Read this book for yourself.

I would recommend it if you are looking for a way to direct your focus when thinking about self-improvement, but, I also would say to check out a sample of the book to see if it fits with your personality.
'Who the Fuck are you?' is a great tool for thinking about your self-improvement and taking steps towards achieving better mental health. I've come through reading this book at a time when I needed to do some self-reflection, and the guided questions in the book were really useful, even though I'm not a Journaler myself, it was enough of a prompt to sit back and focus my thinking.
Like working with a good therapist, everyone will have to find one that fits them, and what works for one person in terms of approach may not work for others.... Read Full Review
