{ "item_title" : "Invisibly You", "item_author" : [" Justin R. Williams "], "item_description" : "What if the person others believe you are isn't the person you truly are?We spend our lives surrounded by mirrors-not just the ones made of glass, but the psychological mirrors created by family, friends, relationships, culture, workplaces, and social media. Their expectations, assumptions, labels, and judgments can gradually become part of the way we see ourselves.Quiet becomes shy. Sensitivity becomes weakness. Setting boundaries becomes selfish. Strength becomes an expectation that you should never struggle.And somewhere between who you are and who everyone thinks you are, you can begin to disappear.Invisibly You is an exploration of what happens when other people's perceptions become louder than your own understanding of yourself-and how to find your way back.Drawing on psychological concepts from thinkers including Charles Horton Cooley, Carl Rogers, Donald Winnicott, and Erik Erikson, Justin R. Williams explores the hidden forces that influence identity: the looking-glass self, the imaginary audience, social personas, the true and false self, external validation, cognitive distortions, and the complicated human need to belong.But understanding why this happens is only the beginning.Through guided reflections, practical exercises, mindfulness, cognitive reframing, authentic communication, and self-concept work, Invisibly You invites you to examine the identities you've inherited, the roles you've learned to perform, and the judgments you've mistaken for truth.Inside, you'll explore how to: Recognize when you're seeing yourself through someone else's eyesSeparate other people's perceptions from your identityIdentify the personas and roles you've learned to performChallenge assumptions about what others think of youUnderstand the difference between your real self and the person you believe you should beReduce your dependence on external validationReconnect with values, preferences, emotions, and parts of yourself you've suppressedCommunicate more authentically in relationships, family, and workSet boundaries without believing they make you a bad personBuild a life guided by an internal compass rather than an external audienceEach chapter moves you further from reflection by others, toward self-recognition, and ultimately toward a chosen identity-one grounded in your own values and lived truth.Because being known begins with something even more important: Knowing yourself.You cannot control every assumption someone makes about you. You cannot force another person to understand you correctly. And you do not have to spend the rest of your life proving who you are.There comes a point when you can stop asking, How do they see me?and begin asking, How do I see myself?Invisibly You is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, mislabeled, overlooked, pressured to perform, or exhausted from trying to become the person everyone else expected them to be.You have spent enough time living inside other people's reflections.It's time to become visible to yourself.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/286/9798192866672_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "9.99", "online_price" : "9.99", "our_price" : "9.99", "club_price" : "9.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
