What if Life Came With a User Guide?: How to overcome negative self-talk, deal with difficult people and adjust to challenging situations

By Deanne Duncombe

"The problem we are trying to fix is that you are useless "

In one sentence, my manager turned my biggest fear into a reality.

Before becoming curious about the source of her behaviours, Deanne Duncombe regularly doubted herself. She was fearful, anxious, didn't know how to deal with difficult people (like her manager) and felt like she didn't have a voice. Thinking she was doing the right thing, she would often put other people first, even if her sacrifices caused her own suffering to increase. It was only after putting aside her self-judgement and negative self-talk and throwing herself into studying the factors that drive our Way of Being that she was able to turn things around and become the leader of her life.

In What if Life Came with a User Guide? Deanne takes you on an eye-opening journey of self-discovery and awareness. The book explores the impact our language - including the stories we tell ourselves - moods and emotions, and our physical body have on our everyday interactions. You will be introduced to fresh new perspectives based on an ontological approach that will make you realise that we all have the power within to be resourceful and resilient when interacting with ourselves, others and the world around us, no matter what life throws our way.

Written in an engaging, relatable and easy-to-understand way, What if Life Came with a User Guide? helps you tap into your personal 'user guide' to unleash your potential, empower yourself and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and ease. Bid farewell to personal angst and welcome a life of purpose and fulfilment.
