Cathcart's book is filled with practical tools to help the reader
nurture self-awareness and meaningful growth. What makes it
truly valuable is the principle-centered approach. Principles
or natural laws control growth, our role is to nurture. The
Acorn Principle is both a tribute to and a practical guide in developing
the best within us all.

Acorn Principle brings a new perspective to self-improvement:
success and happiness do not come from changing your nature, but
rather from discovering your natural talents and aligning your life

Profile." With the knowledge of these "seeds," you can transcend
your perceived limitations and expand your imagined possibilities."

"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."
