Read by the author.
How would your life change if you could show up as your true self?
Do you sometimes feel so stuck in an endless cycle of meeting everyone else’s needs and expectations that you lose sight of yourself? You want to give the best of yourself to others. But what happens when people hurt or take advantage of you? What happens when life doesn’t go your way, despite your best efforts?
The Best of You reveals breakthrough strategies to discover your true self, find your voice, set wise limits, and still be a loving person. For over twenty years, Dr. Alison Cook has brought together faith and psychology to help thousands of women reclaim their confidence, find their purpose, and develop the authentic connections they crave. Her unique wisdom will help you answer these tough questions:
- How do I put a stop to painful patterns that keep recurring in my life?
- How do I find my voice and speak up for myself?
- What if other people respond with anger, blame, or a guilt trip?
- How do I trust myself to make wise decisions even in difficult circumstances?
You don’t have to stay stuck, overwhelmed, or defeated. The Best of You gives you the path to the life and relationships that God designed for you to enjoy.
Accompanying diagrams and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Ff we spend our lives trying to be “the strong one,” we become exhausted, burned-out, and disconnected from our truest selves. What if it were different? Could there be a different way to be strong? Could strength mean more than pushing on and pushing through pain, bearing every heavy burden on our own? What if, instead, true strength were more like the tide: soft and bold, fierce and gentle, moving together as one powerful force? In Strong like Water, author and trauma therapist Aundi Kolber offers a framework for true flourishing.

It is a true story that defines the nature and purpose of reality, and its claims are astonishing. But few modern listeners experience the Bible that way. In this groundbreaking audiobook, celebrated storyteller Blaine Eldredge draws upon years of research to illuminate the story of the Bible through the lives of six kingly characters.

Writing as a friend who has also walked through difficult times, Rebekah Lyons—the bestselling author of Rhythms of Renewal and the popular host of the Rhythms for Life podcast—reminds us of adversity that always comes with a choice: will discouragement, stress, and fear cause you to crumble, or will you embrace the strength you've already been given?

Story
If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life - a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly - only that you feel trapped and alone. If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD).

Now, 10 years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce.

Do you beat yourself up when what you feel doesn’t align with the person you think you should be? You “should” be a good friend, but you feel hurt by past betrayals. You “should” be content, but you feel lonely or unfulfilled. You “should” have faith, but you feel discouraged by unanswered prayers. Instead of working through these inner tensions, you guilt-trip or gaslight yourself, which just leaves you feeling stuck, defeated, and trapped by conflicting feelings. But there is another path.

No one is immune from life’s difficulties, yet many people are reluctant to talk about mental health or seek professional help when they are struggling. People of faith who are battling issues such as anxiety, depression, life changes, stress, or relationship problems may suffer in silence, believing things will get better if only their faith was stronger, they prayed more, or they had more self-discipline. The stigma about needing to seek help is all too real. But seeking professional help isn’t a sign of weakness.

The God of the Bible is emotional. Many Christians don't want to associate emotions with God. Emotions feel irrational, and the idea of God experiencing hate, anger, and jealousy can be confusing and problematic. And yet the Bible is full of stories where God expresses deep emotion. Christians are often left wondering how to reconcile the tension of an all-powerful God expressing seemingly uncontrollable feelings. If God is hateful and angry at humanity, is he a God worth believing in?

Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared.

Must Listen!
I recommend this book to anyone who is ready for stepping up their life game. Several moments of “ah-ha”, identifying, and seeing the reasons others operate the way they do was eye-opening and instrumental in my healing from my relationship trauma. I’ll listen to it again, and again, and have already gifted this title to friends and acquaintances.

A must listen …
My wish would be for every woman to read or listen to this book, whether they feel they have scars from trauma or not. I heard the author discussing the book on Moody radio and in just a few minutes, I was so intrigued that I instantly went and downloaded it. I was raised to “ just get over it” when bad things happened / happen, and that I was being dramatic to discuss my feelings and needs. I have learned through this book that the “broken” bits that I don’t like about myself, (but can’t seem to mend) are actually the product of things that I have been told my whole life to “just get over”. I see so many negative and harmful experiences from childhood that have made me cope in unhealthy ways as an adult in my relationships with others, church, and even God. I am excited to re - listen and to continue to learn.

Must read book for all
Love the voice of Dr Alison. Its like a personal sister sharing her personal stories and how we can apply it in our lives. This book has been very helpful in my journey of healing inner child. It gives words for me when i am seeing my therapist and increases deeper understanding of myself too. Would relisten again.

My Tribe
I’m also a Christian therapist. Dr Cook has put into book form my own way of working with clients. I’ve been waiting for someone to write this book (I really, really don’t enjoy writing. Haha!) and so glad to have finally crossed paths with her in this way.
