Shane Hodges has written the must-read self-help book for 2024. We often fail as individuals to “connect the dots” regarding where we come from genetically, experientially, and relationally, and how that impacts who we are. It is all connected and interwoven creating our most authentic self. Understanding of self can breed growth and acceptance of oneself and others. It's Time to Be YOU! is an insightful, structured method of examining who you truly are and how you came to be, allowing for a more informed path forward. It is an extremely helpful guide to better understanding of your truest self.

I love this book! Shane Hodges has created an amazing tool for mental health and well-being. Right from the start, it gets you easily engaged in the courageous journey to know your true and authentic self.

I’ve been doing personal growth and development work in therapy off and on for over 20 years, and Shane Hodges’ new book It’s Time To Be YOU! How to Become Your Most Authentic Self has pushed me to further reflect on my own identities, experiences, and life in several new ways. In the book, Shane shares relatable personal anecdotes while grounding the work in psychological theory and research. This combination of personal and professional made the book approachable AND substantive. I would recommend this book to someone looking to start their self-exploration journey or to someone who wants to unlock deeper meaning through the personal work they’ve already been doing.
