The Unlimited Self: Destroy Limiting Beliefs, Uncover Inner Greatness, and Live the Good Life
Every person I talk to has one thing in common…
And it isn’t something they like to admit.
Every one of them wants things better…
They feel lost in a desert. Almost like they were born at the wrong time in history.
Whenever they step outside of their comfort zone to expand their life, they face fear, lower self esteem and diminishing confidence. In other words - they face their own limiting beliefs.
They want to make money doing something meaningful with their lives…but they keep showing up at a job or have a business that leeches their life and energy.
They want better intimacy…but they don’t know the skillsets and mindsets to keep the fire alive with their lover.
They want to be a great parent…but when they spend time with their kids, they are only half engaged.
They want to feel strong, alive and vibrant – but they feel so overwhelmed and busy with all the other areas of life, they continually let their health slip. They want to follow their passion…but they don’t have a freaking clue what they are even passionate about. They don’t even know why they are here.
At the end of it all…everyone knows inside that they are called to greatness…
To live an epic life…
To have no regrets…
To leave a legacy to be proud of…
But even with everyone having this fire of greatness within…
Most aren’t even close to where they imagined or dreamed they would be in life…
Why?
Because schools and our parents didn’t know how to show us the mindsets and skillsets to destroy the limiting beliefs and internal self sabatoge patterns that all of us face when we decide to live anything more than an average life.
You can have your dream…but if your internal beliefs don’t believe it’s possible. It isn’t.
Lots of people still debate what success means.
How about this.
Success is when someone is willing to not just dream about becoming great…but take responsibility for making it happen.
Success is doing the INNER work that is necessary to move past the hidden “blocks” that keep you from creating your dreams. So the question is simply this.
Are you ready to seize your greatness and not let go?
Are you are ready for the mindsets and skillets that allow you to destroy ANY limiting belief that is holding you back from your greatness?
If so…
THE UNLIMITED LIFE is for you.

It started out very slow always talking about what this book is about and that this or that will be discussed later. That made me somewhat angry.
However once you passed that it actually has some very helpful thoughts and ideas and made me think a lot. In the end of the book are a few exercise which i am not too comfortable with but that might just be my own mindset. Anyhow the end of the book does feel a bit random and disconnected.
Overall it is still worth reading and I might jump back and reread certain passages.

A good comprehensive toolbox for reshaping your limiting beliefs
Great book! Especially the part regarding 'vows' or getting negative beliefs from past traumatic events. It was explained brilliant and has really helped me uncovered some raw past events. Very similar to CBT.
Highly recommended!

Quick and inexpensive read, but very valuable. A few typos, but the author put himself out there with this one. Puts your life into perspective and challenges you to think about what you really want out of life. I am a prime candidate for this book because I am constantly losing focus on any desires or passions I have, I question my abilities, and I tend to focus negatively because we are constantly and unknowingly bombarded by negative signals and vibes in every day life. This book (if used correctly) will make you proactive about consciously beginning the process of changing yourself for the better. BUT, there's a kicker, it will only work if you want it to! If not, float along.
You will uncover limiting beliefs you have told yourself for life and you will learn how to change those limiting beliefs into beliefs that will help you and make your unlimited subconscious flow into your daily life.
Not part of the book but good food for thought: What you ask of the universe, you shall receive. If you feed the good thoughts and beliefs and continue to focus on them, even in rough times, you will receive prosperity and good. If you feed the negative thoughts and choose to focus on the bad, well, you know. Feed the good!

“The Unlimited Self: Destroy Limiting Beliefs, Uncover Inner Greatness, and Live the Good Life” by Jonathan Heston is a compelling exploration into overcoming personal barriers and achieving one’s fullest potential. Heston provides readers with practical tools and insights to identify and dismantle self-imposed limitations, fostering a path toward a more fulfilling life. 
Strengths:
• Actionable Framework: Heston introduces a structured approach divided into four steps—Feeding, Readying, Exposing, and Emerging. This framework guides readers through recognizing limiting beliefs, understanding their origins, and implementing strategies for personal growth. 
• Empathy and Relatability: The book resonates with readers through its empathetic tone, acknowledging common struggles and offering relatable solutions. Heston’s personal anecdotes and genuine concern for the reader’s journey enhance the book’s authenticity.
• Practical Exercises: Each section is complemented by exercises designed to facilitate introspection and actionable change. These activities encourage readers to actively engage with the content, promoting deeper understanding and personal application.
Considerations:
• Depth of Content: While the book offers valuable insights, some readers may find certain concepts lacking in depth. A more thorough exploration of the psychological theories underpinning the strategies could enhance the reader’s comprehension and application.
• Target Audience: The content is particularly beneficial for individuals new to personal development literature. Those well-versed in self-help concepts might find the material familiar, though the structured approach may still offer value.
Conclusion:
“The Unlimited Self” serves as a motivating guide for individuals seeking to overcome personal limitations and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Its structured approach and empathetic tone make it accessible and beneficial, especially for those new to the concepts of personal growth. While it may not delve deeply into theoretical aspects, the practical exercises and relatable content provide a solid foundation for meaningful personal transformation.

Quite a few good nuggets in here! The core concepts track with a lot of other social science-based work I’ve read on self-discovery and self-improvement. From that standpoint, it’s really solid. I am giving it a low rating, however, because the way it’s written feels like the author is simply contributing to the “churn” of these concepts, adding his own flair, albeit in a disjointed way that I found difficult to connect with. The jargon/terms he uses to explain age-old concepts are can be confusing. Even after reading the book, I *still* can’t make sense of the meanings behind most of the chapter’s titles.
Despite the two-star rating, I still come back to these concepts often in my daily life and even have lots of notes written in my journal from this book! The core ideas are solid, though I have more clear takeaways from other authors.

Heartfelt
Jonathan knows exactly what to say to get your mind moving. There are a lot of good exercises in this book to try to get you past your own doubts. This book is filled with great advise. I know I will read it more than once and I will give the exercises a try, but (and I already know this is a limited belief Mr. Heston) I just don't know if I can get past my own head long enough to really get started down the path. I hope this book inspires everyone to go live their best lives.

Every once in awhile I like to read a book that speaks to improving myself. The concept of limiting beliefs is a familiar one but Heston puts it into context and sets forward actions that can be taken to overcome them. If stuck in a pursuit of life goals, finding ways to improve relationships, or finding greater satisfaction in general, then "The Unlimited Self" delivers.
I'm sure I will be revisiting chapters and the "cheat sheets" in the appendix as I uncover my own limiting beliefs and overcome them.

4.5/5 stars
Minus 1-3 typos, overall an interesting book with good quotes, ideas, and advice. The main takeaway for me was if you are accountable for yourself you stop giving others power over you. That way, you can also forgive. Good read and reminded me of other self help books (well, those I've read, thus far), but had some more info (which all depends on book to book what you take away and remember).

Small but too much of unnecessary details.
If the author could've taken real life examples, the text would have been more convincing.
The initial parts of the book, lacks ability to grip a reader as it is filled with lots of confusing text.
The later part however deals with tackling limiting beliefs, but still i found it to be more spiritual than pragmatic.

Limiting Beliefs
Jonathan did an excellent job with this work. One thing I really enjoyed about this book was he constantly said, "I..." He doesn't just give advice from studies he conducted through other forms of literature, it is apparent that he has applied the skills and exercises explained in the text within his life.

Thought provoking
All in all I thought this book was great and had a lot of good insight. I feel i walked away with more to know and work on by reading this and plan to come back to it multiple times in the future! I loved that it didn't sugar coat and got to the points fast and explained them well.

Same ideas not so great repackaging
Sometimes you need to hear something many times in many ways for it to resonate, so I'm okay with the fact that all the information shared in this book is already out there in a dozen other publications. I just felt the delivery was tired and trying too hard to be inspiring rather than useful. I powered through but didn't enjoy it.

Good Inspiring Message
The book has some editorial issues. But that is not why I’m giving it 3 stars. The books is loaded with subtle advertisement. The intentions are good I’m sure but it feels like a sales pitch. A somewhat sneaky one.

I started this book with high hopes and found that it comes of as a bunch of unsubstantiated dribble from a non-psychiatrist or sociologist with baseless ideas and suggestions. Completely uninspiring and I deleted it as soon as I saw it for the bull it is.

Excellent approach and methodolgy
I think Jonathan Heston's The Unlimited Self is a good book to help someone get unstuck and on a track towards achieving their goals. I especially liked his in-depth, step-by-step approach in facing fear and using meditation.

Uplifting Read
A refresher in some areas and fresh ideas in others. Overall a good read that provides the practical means and encouragement to take action. If you need a boost to get unstuck and release your potential this book is a good place to start.

Interesting ideas
You’ve heard most of this stuff before if you’re familiar with the self-help genre — but maybe he’s packaged it in just the way you need to hear it. I thought the early middle offered some of the best content. A fairly fast read.

Live your best life
What an enriching and life changing book. My favorite part was about forgiveness. Being able to forgive ourselves first and then others is an important step to a truly fulfilled and being your authentic self. Read this book to find out how.

Good read
Recommend for anyone stuck in their life goals - the sticking point is usually trying to answer the question: “what is my passion” - this short but succinct read correctly helps you understand that journey
