Only being and doing your B.E.S.T. is good enough. This is what has driven the author, Dr. Patricia Larkins Hicks, through the years—and which she hopes will also push others to achieve their desired results and success. In her newly published book, Be Your B.E.S.T., she invites everyone to discover, embrace, and fulfill their purpose by identifying, acknowledging, and using their gifts.
Throughout this book, the author has presented analogies and stories to emphasize key concepts, some of which may be familiar to readers. But she highlights them here because these concepts are at the heart of what and how it means to be your B.E.S.T. Also, after each chapter, a "Something to Think About" segment is included; it offers questions to stimulate one’s thinking about how the chapter information relates to the reader.
"… As you read 'Be Your B.E.S.T.,' you will make many discoveries about yourself and the actions that you must take to assist you in making choices that will lead you to your B.E.S.T. Be Your B.E.S.T. is designed with you in mind. Since we all have stories, I have chosen to tell “my story” as the vehicle for introducing you to what it means to “be your B.E.S.T." Activities associated with my story have been created to connect you with the information from a practical perspective. You can only "be your B.E.S.T." if you use the information to expand on how you view yourself and others," shares the author.
This book is the author’s call to action, which she hopes everyone heeds. It is a guide to self-discoveries that will propel readers to be their B.E.S.T. in every—and whatever—journey they take. For more information on this book, log on to
