Transitioning into adulthood doesn’t mean I know everything that I wanted.
I still am searching for both my soul and worldly needs… still seeking our deepest and truest identity…
If you’re like me, you’ll find this book helpful to cater your needs.
Embracing The True You is solely a book about YOU and for YOU. The writer started carving a model of YOU by breathing in a purified soul, building your identity, adding essence of good traits, putting up a firewall and demanding YOU to dream big. I’d say the contents are well organised and thought out 🙌🏻
My favourite is Chapter 6 where she wrote about Constructing a Healthy Circle. Older generation might be taught to bottle up the emotions as “a sign of respect”. But glad that 21st century society has the awareness of what we called as gaslighting. S.N wrote on how to deal with toxicity in parallel with what our society is currently facing. Some ideas aren’t newly discovered but it’s always best to revisit.
“We don’t need to be with the whole world where wrong people makes us comfortable. We just need to find the right group that could be our strong support system and source of inspiration”
Though not a heavy read, I find the writing to be quite similar to literature review or textbook-like structured. A bit stiff at some topics where author didn’t include any self engaging stories. Aside from Chapter 6, Chapter 1 being one of the most prominent topics as her own experience is being included.
Soul searching, self identifying are complex issues and could lead you astray if the foundation isn’t strong. Kudos to author for writing it in a very simple manner yet still giving many useful advices/ guidances.
This is a good book for YOU who’s searching YOU.

May 19, 2023This book Embracing the True You is exactly what my soul needs. The author has beautifully crafted words that resonate with what I have been experiencing in this challenging world.
The ten chapter titles can already tell you the secret recipe for embracing your genuine self. To get the most out of this book, this is the time when you need to empty your glass to absorb new perspectives, even on things you thought you knew well.
I would say that I love the final chapter the most, which is about giving back to the community, leaving a legacy, and inspiring others. When you know your worth, you will dream big and think beyond just yourself.
Kudos to the editorial team for the quality content arrangements and layouts. The key-takeaway and to-do tables at the end of every chapter are a brilliant inclusion to the book making it highly valuable; not to mention the beautiful watercolour illustrations.
To @putehpress, keep producing quality books like this. The world needs them. This book is different from other Sharifah Nadirah's books, as @putehpress has carved out their unique style in this piece. It's a good difference.
If you are struggling to find your true self-worth, this book is for you. Find Embracing the True You at PBAKL 2023 (Pavilion PTS booth) in WTC KL or through online website bookcafe.com.my.

The author encourages us to embrace our true self despite any weaknesses we have or any difficulties and challenges we might face in this world.
What attracted me the most about this book is when the author introduced on "Human Firewall". Have you heard of this human firewall? Do you have any idea how it functions? This is such a new idea and new info for me as I never encountered it before.

"The human firewall functions as a shield that allows us to uphold our principles and beliefs while making people respect our boundaries. The human firewall serves as the fundamentals of our own self-security system and program which provide protection.
Well, we know and we aware that in life, we might receive so many criticism from others, being in a toxic environment and we have no option but to stay for example. Hence, this human firewall is here to help us to remain sane and know our right.

Rating sebenar : 4.5/5.0⭐️
Pertama sekali berkenaan buku. Saya suka cover buku ini, minimalistic tapi masih cantik. Teks di dalam buku diselang-selikan dengan font berwarna merah jambu dan hitam, namun kerana jenis kertas yang digunakan saya rasa lebih baik ianya menggunakan satu warna iaitu hitam.
Isinya memang berkenaan dengan bagaimana untuk menerima diri kita seadanya. Terdapat beberapa refleksi penulis berkenaan beberapa ayat Al-Quran, kisah di zaman para nabi yang boleh kita jadikan pedoman, pengalaman hidup penulis sendiri bagaimana beliau menghadapi persekitaran yang dipenuhi oleh individu-individu toksik dsb. Paling saya suka, di hujung setiap bab terdapat 1-2 helai ringkasan mengenai bab yang telah ditulis. Ianya sangat membantu saya untuk kembali mengingat apa yang disampaikan oleh penulis di dalam bab tersebut.
