Our identities were formed through a fairly random process of trial and error, somehow putting together the various experiences, good or bad, that we have had, along with what parents and others have told us and taught us. Despite the best intentions of parents and teachers to shape our self-concept in useful ways, this process is pretty haphazard and accidental. Some of us got lucky and developed a self-concept that works reasonably well, while others werent so lucky.
As a result, many people are operating with a self-concept that works very poorly, one that lets them down when they need it most. Yet even the luckiest among us has a self-concept that can be greatly improved. I have worked with some exceptionally capable and successful people, but every one of them was able to learn how to improve their self-concept substantially. I have not yet found anyone whose self-concept was more than about 2/3 as effective as it could be. The people that I have worked with taught me a wide range of useful skills that I had never thought of, and this book presents them all, organized so that you can check through them, and add the skills that you dont already use.
