 "Books on self-actualization have for decades talked about the importance of 'knowing yourself,' 'self-discovery,' and how that discovery can lead to greater personal, spiritual, and professional success.  Jim Cathcart has finally and effectively told us how to navigate this journey of self-awareness.  Calling upon his twenty years as a professional communicator he undertakes, and achieves, the daunting task of making a complex subject palatable, readable, and  most important, achievable.

Complete with concrete examples, exercises, and carefully-researched models, Jim gently but firmly helps the reader discover the psychological, spiritual, and even cultural seeds that make each of us who we are.  He then demonstrates how to walk the delicate balance between accepting what we must and exchanging what we can all with an eye on growth, peace of mind, and internal and external achievement."

"Jim Cathcart has managed to squeeze one of the great truths of life into a tiny little acorn-sized symbol that you can't forget.  He's incredibly talented at distilling major life lessons down to parables that stick with you.  I think of his "acorn principle" every week and find it powerfully beneficial in my personal and professional relationships.  Just this week, I avoided a potentially harmful encounter with my assistant by reflecting on Jim's teachings.  I've used them with great benefit as I parent my daughter, too.  Jim, himself, is an authentic, genuine reflection of the principles he espouses.  I've never met a finer person, or an author with more power to change lives for the better."
