Böcker av Andrew Lawson

Who are we, really?Before we are born, we are designed to lead from our True Self, our essence, the unique set of attributes that make up who we truly are. Unfortunately, as we grow and develop, we start to lose sight of our True Self. We are storytelling beings, and in order to survive, our big brains take events and create stories from them. These stories that we tell ourselves lead to the formation of our unwanted selves which, in turn, cause us to create our false selves. Before we realize it, we have shrunk our True Self and made our unwanted and false selves large and impenetrable. Eventually, we not only don't know or recognize our True Self, but our True Self shrinks until it doesn't even show up anymore. All our beliefs and behaviors then come from either our unwanted or false selves causing a wake of broken relationships and unfulfilled lives. Join us on a journey from the brokenness of our unwanted and false selves to our beloved True Self, the heart of who we were designed to be.

Andrew and Briony Lawson have worked alongside each other for over 45 years. Their shared creative energy flows in a subtle way. Their mutual passion for particular beautiful spaces has made a platform for the art of both of them. This book reflects upon this rarely-found synergy.
