Know Thyself: An Autobiographical Manual for Designing a Successful Life

by Jacqueline Tusi

DEAR reader, thank you very much for choosing to read this short manual! Right from the start I would like to ask you to come quietly and thoughtfully as you enter the sanctuary of my inner world. Here, within these pages, you will embark on a journey into the depths of my soul, a pilgrimage to the sacred center of the self. Each step forward is a reverential gesture akin to entering a temple where thoughts and feelings echo ancient truths. Allow the silence to envelop you and allow my vulnerability to touch you, like the embrace of a beloved friend, as you venture into the inner sanctuary of your own being. My memory, inherently subjective and prone to distortion, often fragments my autobiographical recollections, blurring the line between truth and perception. Yet each fleeting moment, however brief or obscure, contributes to the tapestry of my existence, woven with threads of joy, sorrow and resilience. May the contents of this book enrich you and give you wise guidance on your own voyage of self-discovery.

I won this book on a Goodreads Kindle giveaway.

I learned a lot from the book. I read it in one day, once I started I couldn’t put it back down. I loved reading about her overcoming obstacles and learning to grow from them. She chose to never give up and to read this was so inspiring. I am glad this author chose to write and to share so much about her life. It is a gorgeously written book. I definitely recommend this for anyone wanting some inspiration! I feel like I can take a ton from this book and put it into my own!

This book is simply incredible! It offers a deeply personal, passionate account of Jacqueline Tusi's life, written so beautifully that once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one day. This book inspired me immensely and helped me see the beauty not only in overcoming obstacles and growing as a person, but also in being courageous enough to look back at a difficult past and find something to be grateful for. With every page, I witnessed the development of a personality in a world where a good outcome is never guaranteed, but a bad outcome is not inevitable either, because the author refuses to give up, no matter what. Jacqueline shares her story not only so we can learn how she managed to grow, create her own life, and find happiness, but also so we can understand how to do the same. I learned a lot from this book, and I look forward to reading more from Jacqueline Tusi.
