Have you ever looked outside yourself for validation, hoping someone or something would finally make you feel like enough? Have you ever felt broken, or that you lacked value and worth, looking for it outside of yourself? Or maybe you have thousands of thoughts spinning in your head that never stop.

This was Scott's story, and he hid this secret in plain sight, until one night in 2020, he almost didn't survive it. In the aftermath, he asked himself one question that changed everything: What if the thoughts you believe most about yourself aren't actually who you are?

That question became Possley's Paradigm, a roadmap of nine pillars built from ten universal truths for separating who you are from what your mind tells you about yourself. This book will teach you how to break free from being identified with the thoughts that say, "I'm less than," or "I'm not enough," while helping you find value, worth, and contentment from within.

You'll learn to release the patterns keeping you stuck, and rediscover your inherent worth that was never actually missing, only buried under the noise. A companion daily journal is also included to help you put each lesson into practice.

Scott's story happens to be about a gay man's journey, one where alcohol became a way to cope and numb the pain. But hiding, and healing from it, isn't a gay story or a straight story. It's a human one, and the strategies in this book are for anyone who has ever buried a part of themselves, or believed what their thoughts said about them.
If you've ever felt less than, or like you needed something outside yourself to feel whole, this book was written for you.
