Overview

HumanBy Erin MinogueHow often do you get to hear the truth about what it means to be human? Life teaches us to hide ourselves. We're taught to keep secrets and hold ourselves back because it's just not 'polite' to share the truth. But what if we start to question the rules? Just 30% of us feel happy with our lives. Many of us are searching for more, but often, we're still being sold an idea. Just learn to love yourself and things will get better. Don't let other people bring you down. Aim for the stars, and you can achieve. These messages seem to be life-affirming. They seem to push us to be better. But in reality, we can't begin to understand them until we understand what it means to be us: what it means to be human. The truth is that we're free. Part self-help, part action, part memoir, Human is a rich tapestry of personal stories, poetry, and candid recounts of one person's journey to find the truest, rawest parts of herself; to shake off the rules to get to the human being deep in her centre. In Human, you won't find a guide book. You won't find any rules to follow or any claims to help you reach your goals. You'll simply find one flawed being trying to figure out what it means to be human, and through that journey, you'll see the proof that there's a way forward. In Human, you'll find a deeply personal journey of self-discovery, a mirror through which you may see parts of yourself, a mirror through which you may see ways you can find your own truth. You'll discover: 5 common messages that may be holding you back A deep exploration of self-love and what that really means Raw nuggets of clarity reached through poetry How to know when you've met 'your human' The lies we grow up with, addressed and unravelled The concept of 'perfect' dissected and explored What it really means to 'recognise your worth' The complex journey of learning how to give Inspiration to be more certain in your 'no' and more confident in your 'yes' Why 'I Am!' is enough -- literary greats like John Clare have explored this question for as long as there's been literature Why you shouldn't wait to find your truth And much more. If you've ever felt unworthy, like you're not enough, or that you're too much, you've been hurt by the rules we're told to live by. But what truly matters is you. It should be OK to ask for help. But if you're not ready, someone else's journey will help light your path until you are. No two journeys are the same, but we all share the struggle of the human experience. We all deserve to know and to be known; to see and to be seen. Become brave enough to show yourself to the world. Be ready to start your journey.
