Book Recommendation: Getting Real by Susan Campbell, Ph.D.
This week’s book recommendation was really inspirational for me. I’ve been very introspective lately and one of the things I’ve been trying to get a handle on is my own authenticity. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Let’s Get Real, I am more likely to be dishonest about my true feelings in order to control the outcome of a situation. Chances are you’ve been guilty of doing the same, but maybe didn’t realize it.
This week’s book recommendation was really inspirational for me. I’ve been very introspective lately and one of the things I’ve been trying to get a handle on is my own authenticity. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Have you ever…
- been bored listening to someone but acted interested?
- had trouble admitting you didn’t know something you’re supposed to know?
- had trouble admitting you’re wrong?
- had difficulty asking for what you wanted?
- had a problem saying no or marking your boundaries?
These are some of the questions that author Susan Campbell, Ph.D. poses in her book Getting Real, and if you answered yes to any of these than you need to read it.

I have to say that I read this book as well (in fact I recommended it to Will
) and it is amazing. It totally changes the way you look at your own actions in relation to other people. If everyone read this book the world would be a better place! (Highly generalized but true)

Hey Susan!! Glad you could drop by! I've updated this post to include links to your social media sites. I've been watching your YouTube vids. Good stuff. Some of the Getting Real vids are nice companions for the book.
Ladies and gentleman, Miss Julie Brandt! LOL! Thanks again for recommending this book to me. I'm hoping anyone who takes my advice will read it and grow from it like I have (and still am!).
The world would most definitely be a better place, but we've talked about Utopia – an impossible dream. Everyone getting along? Preposterous! How would the media make any money?
