New Book on The Power of Saying 'I Will' Instead of 'I Want'
Jo-Rémi Saada aims to show us that our true version of success requires one small change in thinking and that this change is accessible by everybody. He shows that protecting our mental health and loving ourselves is a vital step to take; he also insists that success doesn't always mean reaching the 'top'.
"So, then I thought of the word 'success'. In seeking to understand what that word meant, I realized success must be defined by each of us, and only in that way will we know when we're on the right path to attaining it" - Jo-Rémi Saada
"It's Who You Become" strives to stand out to its readers by organizing its message in three distinct sections:
1) The Fable
The introduction of the book tells an intriguing story of a wise old tree teaching three plants how to properly think of their own unique goals after surviving a tough storm. The role of fiction here does a great job in communicating how important it is to get clear on your true version of success in order to properly take care of your mental health.
Engaging dialogue is written and accompanied by pleasing black & white illustrations.
"You want to be a millionaire?!" The Wise Tree asks. "Let me tell you what's wrong with that idea," the Wise One says.
2) The Lesson
The second part of the book aims to improve on what self-help truly is about. Saada opens up about his own experiences and conveys this message to his readers:
"Stop saying, 'I want', start saying, 'I will'. Don't underestimate the power of your mind"
The emphasis of this section is not to find the quick fix to your problems, but to understand that true self-development takes time, being mindful, and reflecting on your past. It gives readers the practical steps needed to take in order to follow the lessons of this book.
