Ти си единственият

by Kute Blackson, Румяна Костадинова (Translator)

Едно смело приключение в търсене на смисъла, откриване на истинския Аз и преживяване на любовта.
Това е книга, която разказва как да откриеш личността, която в действителност си ти, и как процесът на освобождаването на тази личност може да стане начинът да споделяш себе си с другите. Когато знаеш кой си и живееш живота, който наистина искаш да живееш, ще можеш с пълен глас да пееш своята песен, да даваш своя дар на света, усещайки се абсолютно и напълно свързан с него. Всеки божи ден.
Но... трябва да копаеш надълбоко. Трябва искрено да признаеш кои неща в живота ти не вървят. Трябва да допуснеш, че си готов за нещо повече. Понякога не можем да видим, че вече имаме всички отговори, които търсим, понеже много дълго сме закривали очи и уши за истината. Затваряме съзнанието си за нещата, които не вървят в живота ни, защото ужасно ни е страх да продължим напред.
Затова - вслушай се в душата си.
Осъзнай, че си единственият, който може да проомени живота си.
Няма кой друг.

[Jason Xu · Rating 2 out of 5]

I truly hope that all the good reviews are from real people who enjoyed the book. Maybe I read too many books in this genre, but I found this book insincere and ineffective. To me, this is a perfect example of a self-help book that gives self-help the bad rep. However, all the lessons in the book are good. Kute's intentions are good. It certainly doesn't hurt to skim through the book and see if it speaks to you. I always feel bad leaving a bad review because I want to be kind. But I also feel a responsibility to people who are choosing between books to read to become a better human being. This is probably not your best option...

[Liz Marasco · Rating 1 out of 5]

I am not familiar with Kute as some of the other reviewers are but I could not even make it through this book. He was preaching good ideas that I'm interested in, but not in any articulate or informed way. Rather than really delving into one of the many shortsighted "pearls of wisdom" he's offering, he glides right over a handful of generic self-help ideas, inspired by East and West alike. I found this book to be a shallow, self-aggrandizing mess of thoughts. I don't even think this guy has any credentials? Anyway, my advice for this one is to skip and instead opt for something that has real substance.

Wow! An exciting journey and "bold adventure" that will transform the way you think and live. Author Blackson can help you turn dark days into winning days. He writes, "When you stop trying to get somewhere else and embrace where you are now, you realize that this moment is the most important moment of your life." Engaging throughout, Blackson provides wisdom and insight to purpose, love, and life. Recommended reading for everyone.

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must read. I loved how this was a helpful book without feeling like facts and dictations were being thrown at me. Instead, Blackson shares his insights through his personal story and the stories of others he has helped. I highly recommend you read this. I finished the book with a smile on my face and a desire to begin my own transformation!

I took several months to meander my way through this one, which was a great opportunity to digest and let things sink in. I read most of it before working with Kute, and saved the last bit until after returning from his Bali trip. Kute is the real deal, and his message shines through these pages. I’d highly recommend to seekers of inspiration, purpose, and meaning who are finding their way on their path.

[Jessie · Rating 5 out of 5]

11 of 5 stars... seriously, read this book. You will find yourself and your purpose in life and it is beautiful and more fulfilling than anything this world has to offer. Recommend to anyone who suffers depression or feels like life is kind of mediocre and doesn’t fit.

[Jennifer Ferrazano · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very inspiring. A book to keep on your shelf to revisit from time to time.

[Christina Gonzalez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read a lot of self growth books and this one is one of the best! Really has you questioning your excuses, inspiring you to not have them stop you, knowing you can do anything you set your mind to! If you're sick of your own excuses, you need to read this one.

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quite interesting and quick read. Gives you a lot to think about.

[Jess✧✵ · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this one. I specifically took a lot away from the chapters on loving fully. Will definitely be checking out his new book soon!

If It Does Anything, It Makes You Think

...and sometimes that's all you need. That and 14 more words to post a review on Goodreads. Ugh. Two more.

[Martha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve been a fan of Kute Blackson for a while. He is a charismatic teacher, speaker, and entrepreneur – not to mention good-looking and charming. From the videos of him I’ve watched, he’s always energetic, animated and inspirational. His positivity and energy seems to flow out of those videos and leaves you feel motivated, more hopeful, and somewhat transformed. Can a book – his first book – achieve what a video can?

You are the oneYes. Blackson has done it – he has poured himself the same way he does for his videos. From one coach to another, I celebrate this ability, this authenticity, and this success. I appreciate this modelling and I am inspired to do more great work – back to the book.

For starters, the book is titled You. Are. The. One. not You Are The One. That’s Blackson for you. Original. But not original for the sake of standing out. Be patient as you go with him on this ride and by the end of the book, you’d get his message loud and clear – You are the one (or at least I hope you do)!

Published in 2016, You. Are. The. One.: A Bold Adventure in Finding Purpose, Discovering the Real You, and Loving Fully has eight chapters with a main story in each. In the prologue, Blackson wrote about meeting the richest man in the world. In subsequent chapters, he shared his personal story of how he left his destined career, moved to L.A. and found his own path. He is the creator of the unique “Liberation Experience” where he travels with an individual client across India for fourteen days, and the books shares some of the life-changing stories.

Blackson wastes no words in this book. Each word contributes to the story, which in turn illuminates the message behind the book. As somebody who has been on the personal development path for many years now, I was moved by the stories, appreciated his book and essence behind his message. I would recommend this book to anybody who is seeking the purpose and meaning of life.

[Karla Montaño · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es un libro de autoayuda que no te da recetas de qué hacer para superarte en tus problemas emocionales. Si nos llegáramos a identificar con alguno de los casos que cita Kute Blackson, éste, con base en sus experiencias con los pacientes que pone en el libro, nos invita indirectamente a generar criterio, a convencernos de que nosotros somos quienes nos sacamos de nuestros hoyos emocionales y que no debemos temer a la introspección.
Sin embargo, el formato del libro es muy repetitivo y llega a aburrir.

[Stephanie · Rating 2 out of 5]

It started off very well. Then, throughout the book, I felt like it was more preachy. Some of the examples he gave was good. I get what he's trying to do, but some of the request for his clients were too extreme and can be done a different way. I'm sure this works for some people, but for me, a bit too preachy.

[Justin Piesco · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is short but an absolute banger! Easily a must read for anyone in anytime of their life. Kute is a powerful speaker and with his impactful stories about his life and his work with others, he gets to the heart of what it means to be spiritual and to live a spiritual life. Prepare to be touched.

[M.K. Boers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've followed Kute Blackson for a few years now and always loved his style and delivery, and this book was no different. He delivers his message in a clear, succinct, direct way.

Each chapter focuses on a different aspect, from loving/accepting yourself and life, realising how much power you have and how you are able to break through conditioning, and that in fact you are limitless. It covers forgiveness and love, and how to rethink your potential. Each topic organically flows from one chapter to the next, each supporting the last. Kute talks about the people he has taken to India on his Liberation Experience and uses their experiences to support what he is saying and explaining, using gentle repetition within each chapter to put his point across - and it works.

I found it eye-opening, inspirational and uplifting. It is a book that I feel I could read every year and take something new from it each time - and I just might. This is coming from someone who doesn't often re-reads books.

This book might just be the one! ;-)


I love this, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new perspective on how to approach life and get more out of it, or a new approach to healing themselves.

[Arminda Lindsay · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is no new information in this book.

Only I am new in my reading of it.

How does the saying go, “When the student is ready the teacher appears,” and so it is with “old” information. I was ready for something here in a new way for me.

Kute Blackson is an able storyteller and the power of this book’s message rides on its stories.

Destined to assume his father’s pulpit in London to not having enough for a loaf of bread in Los Angeles, California, Kute shows us what transformation looks like through his own journey, sprinkled with riveting accounts of his clients’ wake up moments facilitated by Kute in the classroom of life.

His invitation to see ourselves as all we need to be all that’s possible is repeated in every single story and on every page.

“All of life is a gigantic temple. Everything in it is an expression of the divine. Everywhere you walk is holy ground.”

“Know that you have within you everything you seek. Everything the world needs. . . . YOU. ARE. THE. ONE.”

[Bev Hitchins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kute Blackson is an out-of -the-box life coach and extraordinarily creative in steering clients to break the self-imposed bindings they have willingly wrapped around themselves. Most of us set limits we don't let ourselves go beyond. Mr. Blackson, whose own life story is filled with binding-breakings, takes clients to India. Upon arrival, he strips them of all forms of electronic communication and offers them multiple opportunities to delve deep inside themselves to discover the treasure that resides within. Most of us would never think of doing what he suggests. By the time I finished the book I was awestruck by Mr. Blackson's brilliance, courage and love for himself and humankind.

[Caprice · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author presents some helpful generalised advice. This book can support different people at different points in their life. I liked the way the stories and lessons were sectioned and the book felt easy to read and digest. I liked that the author included their own personal journey and experiences. I particularly liked the idea of there being “nowhere to get to”. The book is charming especially for a self help read.

I think this book is very inspiring and thought provoking. The only down side to this book is that it provides generalised support which may not be appropriate for some people. I think also this book is for people who want to change their mindset and habits and has a no excuse approach.

Not for everyone but some good take home advice.

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book actually took way longer to read than I expected it to. While I loved this book and Kute’s overall writing style (which caters to note takers and quote lovers), towards the end of the book I did find it to get a bit repetitive, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars. His methods are definitely extreme and I found myself many times in this book saying “Oh, come on!”.

Plainly put... this book will speak to you only at the level you’re willing to step into the “extreme.”

[Beth Klemen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I know inspiration can come from others experiences and stories, but I found myself turning each page waiting for the content to truly begin to materialize and allow me to connect, but it never happened. Each page is filled with a story about some individual he took on his India experience and how they had to face their inner selves. Guess it can be inspirational for some, but I found it repetitive and not truly applicable. Didn't even finish the book.

[Karen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I heard the author speak in an online seminar and he was dynamic so I decided to read this book. There are some helpful ideas here, though nothing new. I enjoyed the story of his parent's meeting or how he came to the US. However, his ideas are interspersed with his lessons while conducting his extreme transformational trips through India. I'm always wary of self-proclaimed, self-help gurus who put people in harm's way. I would recommend Dr. Wayne W. Dyer or Louise Hay instead.

[osoordinary · Rating 5 out of 5]

There was just so much I enjoyed about this book. This one really got me thinking. And not negatively. It got me thinking of all the ways I can better myself with such simple changes. He makes so many great points about life and how we perceive things and he did it all so simply and sincerely. I will totally be reading this book again. There's so much to get from it!

[Nancy Sigl · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first part of this book felt trite and boring. I was having a hard time coming back to it and I only did so because I had a long drive and nothing else to listen to for the next several hours. I’m glad it worked out because I learned some things I had never before heard...and I’m 51 years old! There are a few morsels in here that make the effort worthwhile. I’m glad I finished it.

[zxxkixxzmxn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Light motivational book to read. Straight forward and easy to understand with good explanation. Kute's writing was focussing on 'Self Love'. How to start to prioritise ourselves before other people. When we decided to choose our self in everything we do without other's distraction, knowing there is no important other that ourselves. Love yourself, love me, you are the one, in everything (:

[Thea · Rating 3 out of 5]

I bought this book by accident unaware of author nor by the content in it. This is more like other self help book but preach you in a different way to shed the toxic layers in ourselves. The experiences explained in each chapter is simply cool. Yes you don't need something to someone to change you. YOU ARE THE ONE, you are the change.

[Zackary · Rating 4 out of 5]

The title of this book turned me away for quite awhile. Glad I didn’t stay away. The content on this book is much better than anticipated and the stories make the read very pleasurable. Definitely recommend reading when time is made to contemplate how the stories and lessons resonate within your own life.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

The perfect book with a perfect message at the perfect time in my life. If the entire country read this and understood it, things could be oh so different today in these troubled times. Thank you Kute!

[Lauren · Rating 4 out of 5]

I heard Kute on a podcast and knew I wanted to read his book. I enjoyed it and it reinforced some of the same subject matter I have been or am currently reading. Fast read and it gave me some things to think about so I can’t complain about that :)

[Toofan · Rating 1 out of 5]

There are a few good ideas but you'll find them in almost any other similar book, and probably better presented and explained.
If you really want to read this book, borrow it. You can always buy it later if you decide that it is worth re-reading.
