Everything You Need You Have: How to Be at Home in Your Self

by Gerad Kite Narrated by Peter Noble

Overview

Gerad Kite - founder of the renowned Kite Clinic in London - believes that the way we are living today is making us ill. For all the choices we have, for all the improvements in our material lifestyle, people are more unhappy than ever, because we have lost the ability to tap into our inner selves. Drawing on the principles of ancient Chinese philosophy and his extensive experience of helping people of all ages and from all walks of life, Kite offers a life-changing promise. Kite's route to a state of being is more authentic, expansive and liberating than anything most people can currently find either in their thoughts or the world around them.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Gerad is a brilliant man. If the world woke up to what he knows, wow, now that would be something." —Chris Evans

"Gerad has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking." —Fearne Cotton

"Kite gifts his patients with something they often weren't aware they had lost: that ineffable sense of 'me-ness' that a child is born with but that many of us mislay along the way." —Daily Telegraph

"Gerad and his philosophical tradition of Five-Element acupuncture helps me to make sense of what it means to be alive in the 21st century on this planet... And how to get through it and enjoy this ride!" —Ed O Brien, Radiohead

"I have been seeking Gerad's help for over 15 years. A lot has happened in that time personally, professionally, physically and emotionally. Through the trials and tribulations his wise words have always been a guiding light. The one thing he's always told me is that I'm okay - always have been, and always will be. We all know thoughts can be destructive and that having an ego can be a pain, but sometimes we just need a little reminder of what s real. Finally Gerad has written this book which does just that." —Melanie Chisholm (Mel C)

"Gerad's aim is not quick-fix happiness, but to achieve the kind of balance where you're far more receptive to long term contentment." —Elle Magazine (UK)

"At the heart of Gerad Kite's philosophy is his fervent belief that we need to get back in tune with the human body's natural cycle. Only then will we discover the true path to health and happiness." —The Daily Mail

The theme of both of these guidebooks is to find enjoyment in being oneself and to be free of pursuing perfection. Kite, an acupuncture master, helps people tune in to their own rhythms and direct their perspectives toward a sense of calm self-awareness. Vine top blogger Marsh encourages self-acceptance through coloring in charts, discovering self-defeating patterns, and listening to the stories of others who have transcended societal expectations of race, age, and gender. While Kite's work provides new ways in which to think about our relationship with the world, Marsh's emphasizes achieving one's own version of success. In compassionate chapters, he pushes readers to let go of the concepts of punishment and control and feel confident about being good enough. VERDICT Neither book is groundbreaking in offering suggestions for a self-acceptance to which all people aspire, but both suggest valid feel-good ideas.
