"THE IDEA The idea is that what you have inside of you is what the world needs more of. You have the transformer, the nuclear reactor, the raw power, the Tony Stark/Ironman heart thing, the Holy Grail, inside of you. We all do. Each one of us has a 50-carat diamond waiting to be unearthed and the world needs it, YOU need it. It is you, your Authentic Self. Your pure essence is everything. It’s what you’ve been looking for, it’s what we’ve been looking for. This is the truth and I want you to know it; I want you to experience it and I want the world to have it." Jody Pignolet’s quest to find and live more from her true essence, her Authentic Self, has led to her understanding just how much brighter the world would be if we got to experience everyone’s true essence. This book is her passionate attempt at bringing that vision to life. Through her wisdom and experience, she helps the reader see the validity of that audacious assertion. Through her vulnerable and relatable stories, she gives the reader permission to pursue that for themselves. Through her understanding of human nature and the big picture, she inspires the reader to hop on that path of authenticity, knowing that they and the world would be better for it.
