Can You Get Better? Sure, You Can! 14 Approaches Guaranteed To Help You Become A Better You by Anthony Hodge is a book aimed towards helping readers live a better, healthier, and happier life.
This author divided this book into sections and subsections that served as steps to enable readers to attain certain milestones toward positive growth. One of them was positive self-talk. While this might be a concept we all are too familiar with, this author delved deeper into it, emphasizing the very essence of this act as it goes a long way to bolster emotional growth and stability.
Contrary to popular belief, this author posits that there is nothing wrong or abnormal about talking to one's self and even answering oneself. In fact, Hodge believes that utilizing self-talk has the ability to help increase life span, lower rates of depression, and lower levels of distress.
What about positive affirmations? Oftentimes we come across people who spare a few minutes of their time every morning to positively speak into their lives and their day. However, the more common concept is that of people affirming others with words like, "You can do!". Hodge concurs with this notion when he states how much easier it is to affirm others than it is ourselves, but tells readers to remember to encourage themselves as well. While being selfless is a good thing, readers must also endeavor to build themselves up.
"Visualize Yourself Evolving into the Person You Were Created to Become" is a section I particularly enjoyed. In that section, Hodge outlined practical steps to enable readers to apply his counsel, such as focusing on the positive, consistency, and a lot more.
I also loved the question series and summary at the end of each section. This author no doubt took his time to ensure that each reader understood each section perfectly. Hodge also made use of stories of his experience in the military and how his techniques helped him overcome obstacles and attain every goal he had set for himself. Therefore, this book embodies tested, trusted, and even very familiar techniques aimed toward helping readers achieve a better living.
I found this advice and counsel very simple, practical, and relatable, especially the breathing exercises and music therapy. The style of writing adopted by Hodge also made this book a quick and easy read for me.
Hence, it's safe to say that 'Can You Get Better? Sure You Can!' has all the ingredients to qualify as a good book. It is a value-packed book, suitable for every reader and worth every bucks I spent on it.
