{ "item_title" : "The Version of You They Needed", "item_author" : [" Adrian Keller "], "item_description" : "THE VERSION OF YOU THEY NEEDEDBreaking Free From Who You Were Trained to BeYou are not entirely who you think you are.Not because you are inauthentic or lacking in self-awareness or living a fundamentally dishonest life. But because a significant portion of the person you have become was not chosen. It was constructed, carefully and largely invisibly, by the specific needs of the people and the systems you were born into before you were old enough to choose differently.In this deeply honest and emotionally precise book, Adrian Keller examines the architecture of the trained self. How children become the version of themselves that their environments can handle. How family roles are assigned before they can be questioned. How being easy to love requires the systematic suppression of everything inconvenient about you. And how the invisible leash of early conditioning continues to govern adult choices long after the original conditions have changed.This is not a book about blame. The people who needed a particular version of you were doing their imperfect best with what they had. But their needs shaped you in ways that deserve honest examination. That have cost you things worth knowing about. That have organized your life around requirements that were never quite yours.What becomes possible when you finally see the construction clearly is not a new self. It is the self that was always underneath the trained one, quieter than it should be, more intact than you might expect, waiting for the conditions that would finally allow it to emerge.Those conditions begin here.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/679/9798186794615_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
