Official Review: How to Define Yourself by Chuck Clifton
Chuck Clifton writes a brief, but outstanding self-help formula on how to control your life. The essence of the book titled, How to Define Yourself, is summarized by explaining to his readers how to grow up and relate to oneself and others. Growing up does not end at a certain age. It lasts a lifetime.
He carefully presents his formula with terminology which he defines and can be understood even by a young reader. The formula includes “Space of Time,” “Stimuli, and “Response,” which we are exposed to in situations that prop up during our everyday life. We choose our thoughts, actions, and how to respond always. We are free to control ourselves.
Mr. Clifton presents life scenarios, explanations, and experiments that are helpful to lead any one of us to a more peaceful, happier life. We are allowed to compare ourselves and learn responses to situations in a mature way…making decisions that lead to fulfillment, and not fear or doubt.
This book could be rated by some as simplistic and elementary, but I enjoyed the common-sense life examples that he presented. I could place myself in his examples and see some of the mistakes I have made in my life. I recommend this book to parents and their children to read in sections, stopping and discussing his examples. If it is read at one sitting, it might be boring or repetitive. This is what I disliked most about the book.
I rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars because I did not see any typos or grammar errors. I found the book applicable to me, and I learned techniques to apply to my personal life. This what I liked most. If you apply the formula of “Space of Time, Stimuli, and Response,” your life will change, but I will not spoil it by defining them to you. Read the book and find out what they mean and how to apply them.
Chuck Clifton is married, a father of ten children, and 35 grandchildren. He must know a little something about how to control himself in situations that are funny or difficult. I’m glad he wrote this book to share his experiences with the rest of us. Some of his examples deal with real-life scenarios of people who are disabled or impaired, and some of them are just about us…the ordinary people who get up every morning, send the kids to school and go to work.
