Awkward, shy, antisocial, bashful and overly self-conscious are some of the words that describe seventeen year old Ellie Eguchi. But her juxtaposing nature of caring, assured self esteem, confidence and unflinching spirit are what keep her in a positive mindset with an optimistic outlook on life. At school, she keeps to herself and prefers to eat lunch away from everyone else. Torn between taking over the family bread and sweets shop or choosing a career weighs her down more than usual. As a way to ease the boredom of her mundane everyday life, she holds an IRL meet with five other youths who all share the same common desire as her: a desire to interact with the world around them. These five will be the ones who open the door of her sheltered world and show her that life isn’t as boring as she makes it out to be.

This uniquely focused sourcebook offers a fascinating range of approaches to the challenging and sometimes elusive task of self-development and self understanding.

Self Awareness and Personal Development provides hands-on resources for the ongoing project of exploring the self. It is an invaluable text for students, trainees and practitioners in counselling and psychotherapy.
