Your Power to Change by Kyle Becker

What's It About?

Kyle Becker’s life was not working, and he wasn’t about to stand still.

He read hundreds of books, listened to hundreds of audiobooks and seminars and podcasts, watched documentary after documentary, went to thousands of support group meetings, meditated for hours and hours, and studied hypnosis and the subconscious mind, always trying to gain that little extra understanding of how he could live the life he wanted to live.

Now he is sharing what he learned – and what helped him survive – in his book, Your Power to Change. What Becker realized was he could absorb information and more information, read everything in and out of sight, but all the processing in the world was not going to help unless he developed a specific action plan. That’s what this book offers.

WANTING TO CHANGE, WILLING TO CHANGE

“There came a point in my life where to survive, all I needed to be willing to change about myself and my life was everything,” says Becker. “This book is the distillation of the wisdom I have found.”

He quotes from the famed civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hammer, who said, “My whole life, I have been sick and tired. Now I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Or, in the words of fictional news anchor Howard Beale in the classic movie Network, “I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore!”

Becker systematically takes readers through a very detailed and comprehensive examination of their inner selves – their fears, their beliefs, their triggers and their experiences – and helps get at the roots of each and break them down for a better understanding.

The book is as much about performing the many exercises within as it is studying Becker’s analysis of each relevant topic. Perhaps most important – Becker says if you only do one exercise, it’s this one – is taking what he calls a personal inventory. That includes everything from your fears, resentments, regrets, acts of harm committed by you and against you, intimate relationships and more. “We will be looking at patterns of thinking , feeling and behaving that are holding you back and causing you pain.” (The first time the author did this, he reports coming up with 49 things that caused him pain in the past.)

UNCONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUE MOVES MOUNTAINS

Becker offers an interesting technique to help readers along: When analyzing something from your past, step outside yourself, depersonalize it and try to view the experience from a neutral standpoint. This will help remove any emotional ties and help you understand the event more clearly.

He also believes it is important for readers to be able to visualize their ideal outcome. If they can imagine it, and “see” it, that will help remove some of the fears and obstacles to attaining it.

Is Becker’s book for everybody? It is highly geared for those readers who are uncomfortable with their present state, who understand their lives are in need of massive change to achieve peace, harmony and happiness, and are willing to take the plunge into an action-based initiative. The book also has value to those relatively content with their lives but interested in exploring techniques that might bring them to a higher level.

LIVE BETTER – AND LET LIVE

It’s about controlling what you can control and not harping on what’s happened and can’t be changed. It tackles so many sensitive subjects: the fear of change, one’s desire to change, the freedom to change, the ability to change behaviors, improving the quality of your journey, understanding the truth and what is real, self-mastery, and lots more.

Becker has gathered much information, learned from his own experience, and considered so much in his own personal journey that he has offered it here for what he believes is an eager audience.

In his final chapter, “Your Power to Evolve,” his quote from James Allen sums up his message: “A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts, ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden power and possibilities within himself.”
