A motivational do-it-yourself workbook based on Mike Bayer's New York Times –bestseller, to help reinvent your life and live every day as your Best Self. In Best Self, Mike Bayer, known to his fans and followers as Coach Mike, empowered his readers to embrace authenticity, break through obstacles, and discover the freedom to be their best selves. By working through each of the Seven SPHERES of life—Social, Personal, Health, Education, Relationships, Employment, and Spiritual Development—Coach Mike distilled his wisdom into a focused guide to get real results. Now, he expands upon his tried-and-true strategy for igniting change and shows you how to design a deeply fulfilling life. In this fully interactive workbook, Coach Mike builds on the revealing quizzes, provocative questionnaires, and paradigm-shifting prompts he introduced in Best Self.Using his tough but important questions and exercises, he can help anyone see what their Best Selves and Anti-Selves really look like. The truth is, we all show up in slightly different ways within each of our seven SPHERES. We behave differently when we are in "parenting" mode, versus "career" mode, and so on. That's to be expected to a degree, but where we run into trouble is when we aren't always acting as our Best Self within all of our SPHERES. This workbook helps readers discover personalized strategies for consistently staying connected to and behaving authentically within each SPHERE, because if we aren't, then we run the risk of getting way out of balance in some areas of our lives. As a mental health specialist, a personal development coach, and an all-around change agent, Coach Mike understands our struggles intimately, because he's faced—and overcome—his own. With this essential handbook, he makes you see that changeispossible, and gives you the tools to build a better life, in real-time.
