Perfect You

Caroline Leaf Dr.

Description

There are a lot of personality and intelligence tests out there designed to label you and put you in a particular box. But Dr. Caroline Leaf says there's much more to you than a personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized!In this fascinating book, she takes readers through seven steps to rediscover and unlock their unique design--the brilliantly original way each person thinks, feels, relates, and makes choices--freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Readers learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experience rather than trying to forcefully change it, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives.Knowing and understanding our identity empowers our choices. Unlocking one's you quotient is not optional--it is essential.

“More times than not, those who treat our physiological or even neurological needs are not in alignment with our belief construct. Who says that science and faith can’t be collaborative in accomplishing wholeness? Dr. Leaf loves God and cares about people. Her new book, The Perfect You , is a blueprint for feeling better and living better. In it she provides scientific, philosophical, and theological guidance on how to step into your ‘Perfect You.’ If you’ve ever wanted or even needed to reimagine your life, this book may very well be the catalyst to that end. It’s actually a guidance system that clears away the pollutants that have restrained you from expressing the greatest version of you the world has ever seen!”
Bishop T.D. Jakes and Serita Jakes
“Laurie and I highly recommend this life-changing book, which will help you discover who you are—your Perfect You—and give you a blueprint for pursuing your God-given identity.”
Matt and Laurie Crouch, TBN
“Dr. Caroline Leaf achieved the near-impossible with her latest book. She delved deep into complex theories of theology, philosophy, and science, then deconstructed these highly abstract concepts and synthesized them into an innovative, creative, and enriching Christian-based book on self-discovery! Her Unique Qualitative Assessment tool and practical exercises will empower readers to find and celebrate their own unique and perfect selves in today’s fast-changing world. My journey through the book left me in awe of her talent and excited to begin the voyage of discovering not only my own uniquely perfect self but also the perfect other in the individuals around me. Every reader will be strengthened by revisiting their perceptions using her guiding principles, developing a revised view of their unique selves, and staying true to their own perfect selves in their everyday lives. This latest addition to Dr. Leaf’s growing list of books is also a testimony to the perfect uniqueness of Dr. Leaf herself.”
Dr. Brenda Louw, professor and chair, Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, East Tennessee State University
“Dr. Caroline Leaf’s new book The Perfect You: A Blueprint for Identity could just as well have been subtitled “Blueprint for Success” or “Blueprint for Peace of Mind.” I wholeheartedly recommend it!”
Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
“ The Perfect You , with its application tools, will be a daily recommendation in my integrative neuroscience practice. Its revelatory principles—the culmination of Dr. Leaf’s thirty-plus years in the neurosciences—offer more hope for change and more help for true healthcare (not just disease management) than any other tool I’ve seen.”
Robert P. Turner, MD, MSCR, neurologist and clinical associate professor of Pediatrics and Neurology, USC School of Medicine
“This masterpiece is a must-read for anyone who truly desires to be deeply educated on how our souls are wonderfully and fearfully made by the Creator of the universe. The application of the principles in this work facilitate functioning to our fullest potential, individually and collectively, for his good pleasure and purpose.”
Avery M. Jackson, neurosurgeon, CEO, and founder of the Michigan Neurosurgical Institute PC
“Pioneers in any field propose ideas that are not accepted at the time. Those ideas are even thought to be ridiculous. However, eventually they are proven right. Dr. Caroline Leaf is such a pioneer in the field of the mind. She has God-given insight into the composition of our minds, what makes us unique, and how we can operate successfully in our uniqueness. This book fashions a profound mix of quantum physics, philosophy, and psychology into effective, practical applications to help every one of us excel in what we have been created by God to accomplish.”
Dr. Peter Amua-Quarshie, MD, neuroscientist and assistant professor
“Dr. Leaf beautifully illuminates the brain, the mind, and how we make choices, then helps us make better ones. Both scientific and spiritual, this book has something for everyone.”
David I. Levy, MD, clinical professor of neurosurgery and author of Gray Matter
“As an endocrinologist I find Dr. Caroline Leaf’s books very detailed yet very easy to read. What makes you be who you really are? And how can you achieve The Perfect You as we all strive to maintain and restore health? I was so excited to read Dr. Leaf’s skillful explanations of discoveries made in the medical, psychological, and quantum physics fields in the last thirty years in this new book. She fosters proactive steps you can take to change your health and your life. The Perfect You checklist is an amazing tool that will allow you to get to know yourself in a much deeper way and help you make changes in behavior using the chart and exercises. It will help you become the person you long to become, achieving your full potential in such a way that you can indeed feel ‘fully alive’ and accomplished in your professional life and your relationships but also in your ‘inner self.’ I encourage anyone to read this amazing book!”
Dr. Irene Stanciu, endocrinologist
“Dr. Leaf has released yet another brilliant piece of work. She masterfully details how our true identity is found when we abandon ourselves to Christ and immerse ourselves in His unrelenting love, thereby unlocking our natural gifts and talents. Christianity is not centered on rules and regulations; it is rather a journey of self-discovery that results in healthy, nontoxic actions and relationships. We often reference Dr. Leaf’s work as it uses proven scientific arguments that apply the Word of God to our lives. We recommend this book to anyone looking to discover their purpose in life and ready to embark on a journey of true self-discovery.”
Bishop Lawrence and Dr. Lillian Robertson, Emmanuel Ministries, Bremerton, WA
“I love the title of the book, The Perfect You , because it is a bold declaration of who we are and an accurate vison of how God sees us and wants us to see ourselves and to help each other become the Perfect You. Its timing is perfect because we live in a season when the imperative for raising children and building strong families and communities is the highest priority on any parent or leader’s mind. Dr. Leaf has given us an important tool that shows us in a step-by-step, loving, and caring way how we can live in victory and unspeakable joy. The book is carefully written with much wisdom and love of the Lord. As I read through the pages I could feel the healing power the words will bring to anyone who is blessed to get this precious book into their hands.”
Tsitsi Masiyiwa, philanthropist and cochair of Higher Life Foundation
“Once again, Dr. Caroline Leaf is using her expertise, experience, and conviction to bring a life-changing book to the table. We live in a world of increasing complexity when it comes to the foundational truths of life. I am confident The Perfect You will enable you to explore and find the freedom you were created for.”
Bobbie Houston, founder and global senior pastor of Hillsong Church
“A valid perspective on identity is the turning point for a healthy and successful existence. Like a skilled architect, Dr. Leaf has expertly crafted a blueprint to demolish erroneous thinking and rebuild lives with solid foundations that will remain. The Perfect You will provide truths that not only change your mind but, if applied, will transform the trajectory of your entire life. This woman is a gift and this book is a masterpiece.”
Priscilla Shirer, speaker and Bible teacher
