The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation

What if you could unlock a path to realizing true personal transformation—not just doing better, but becoming better?

Many people chase improvement but remain stuck, frustrated by progress that feels incremental at best. That’s because most self-improvement strategies focus on one’s Doing Side—their level of knowledge, skills, and abilities. While valuable, this approach only scratches the surface of what’s possible.

In Becoming Better, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Ryan Gottfredson, PhD, teaches you that transformational growth requires a shift to a deeper dimension known as your Being Side—the quality of your mindsets, emotional depth, and regulatory abilities. It is this unseen foundation that shapes how you experience the world and how the world experiences you. But few understand their Being Side, let alone how to elevate it.

Through this audiobook, you’ll learn how to unlock the power of your Being Side to step into your ideal self. Leveraging groundbreaking scientific research, Gottfredson provides cutting-edge guidance, powerful tools, and practical exercises to help you learn:
• What your Being Side is and why it matters.
• How to assess the current quality of your Being Side.
• Proven strategies to upgrade your Being Side.

This journey is about more than self-improvement—it’s a blueprint for truly elevating your life, your impact, and your being. If you’re ready to become not just a better doer but a better being, this book will show you the way.

This book matters.

We can ignore our blind spots and pretend they don’t exist, even though everyone else can see them and they deeply affect our happiness. Or we can address them.

Dr Gottfredson does a wonderful job of presenting this deep information in an approachable way. I’m better because of this book and now have the tools to continue improving.

Grow as a person and a leader!

This book is a must read. I received an advance copy from the author and liked it so much that I had to listen to it as well.

“Becoming Better” has transformed the way I think about leadership development. Dr Ryan Gottfredson’s concepts will be part of how I develop leaders, including myself, in the future.

The book is filled with great applications in each chapter as well as a useful summary of key concepts. This book can be your new handbook for leadership development.
