More than just a self-help book, "The Missing Piece" by Bud Boughton contains a beautiful allegory and a tool-kit to help readers discover what their missing pieces are and how to achieve security and peace in a hectic and insecure world. Beautifully written, this book examines different facets of our lives that make us feel less than and incomplete. Drawing not just from personal experience, Bud makes the case that we are all striving so hard to find security; whether it be in our relationships, careers, financial stability, education, or activities; yet we often fall short of achieving what we need to feel truly secure. He breaks down the ways in which we try to achieve stability and the hang-ups we often face, while never being negative or pessimistic. Rather than focusing on certain missing pieces, we need to look for missing peace, and see how that reframes our lives and the way in which we look for security. A meaningful self-help book that is heavy on hope and light on pages. A great book for those wanting to look inward.
