Be the Hero in the Movie of Your Life

Be the Hero in the Movie of your Life is a self-help book like no other. I wrote this book because I had seen it all before: the self-help books and seminars that temporarily inspire, but inevitably let you down; the life-coaches who make you feel good while you're in the room, but whose strategies are too complicated, too far removed from normal human behaviour to be sustainable. Let's face it: if changing your life were easy, wouldn't everyone do it? But it is! Self-help should be based upon a clear understanding of what is causing our pain in the first place. The SECRET to changing your life lies in identifying the source of your sadness, loneliness, longing, fear and pain. That source? STORIES. Yes, the stories we tell ourselves about who we are in a family, how valuable we are as people, what we are capable of, whether we can succeed, what we should be doing in our lives .... All these are stories fed to us from outside ourselves. You believe the stories you are told, because it is human nature to do so, and you've made them a part of who you are – telling yourself the same old stories over and over again. Stories of failure, stories of loss, stories of sorrow, weakness and fear. Be the Hero uses the metaphor of movies - a medium near and dear to all of us - to teach you to control every aspect of your life, just as a film maker controls the actors, direction, cinematography, and, above all, the story of a film. And it's jam-packed with fascinating insights into what movies, old and new, have to teach us about our own lives.- Sheila DeButler
