Your Journey of Being — Life-Changing Books That Help Teens Build Confidence, Purpose & the Power to Design Their Future

---

Grounded in real psychology, simple habits, and relatable storytelling, the books show teens how to:

• Understand their inner voice and emotions
   
• Replace negative beliefs with empowering ones
   
• Build unshakeable confidence
   
• Set meaningful goals they actually achieve
   
• Develop resilience and mental strength
   
• Make decisions with clarity instead of fear
   
• Navigate challenges, friendships, self-doubt, and pressure
   
• Become leaders of their own life
   

All three books build on each other, teaching teens how to design their life intentionally—not accidentally.

 Teens learn how to recognize and overcome the four things that stop people from reaching their goals.

This book introduces the powerful concept of the stories we create, the emotional patterns behind them, and how to shift from fear to possibility. 

Teens learn how to overcome the F.I.R.E. that hold them back in life!
— Fears
— Influences
— Reasons
— Emotions

Teens learn how to spot the “storytelling voice” in their head, understand the difference between truth and perception, eliminate blame, and recognize when influence is pushing them toward choices that sabotage their goals. 

 👉 Key Skills: emotional intelligence, mental resilience, overcoming negativity, self-belief.

In the final installment, Anderson brings everything together with a deeper, more technical look at life-design. Teens learn that in every moment they possess only three things:

✨ This Moment
✨ A Choice
✨ Possibility

Using diagrams and step-by-step models, Anderson shows readers how to:

— Stop emotional “landslides”
— Replace negative disbeliefs with positive beliefs
— Live “in the light,” not under the dark clouds of fear, influence, reasons or emotions
— Create Desired Envisionments: a detailed vision of who they want to become
— Build their own “Plan of Awesome,” a life blueprint they can refine forever

The series concludes by teaching teens how to design their life like an architect—through clarity, consistency, and belief. 

 👉 Key Skills: mindset mastery, decision-making, purpose, personal leadership, manifestation, life design.
 

• Written in a voice that feels real, encouraging, and human
   
• Easy to read — powerful lessons wrapped in stories teens relate to
   
• Gives teens control over their emotions and their future

Parents consistently report that the books:

• Help their teen open up emotionally
   
• Improve confidence, grades, focus, and responsibility
   
• Reduce anxiety, anger, and negative self-talk
   
• Create meaningful conversations they’ve never been able to have
   
• Even help the parent understand and improve their own mindset
