Narrado por: Patrick Williams

If today you are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity in your work, relationships, and your life, this book is for you. Found here is the powerful secret to unlocking your fullest potential as a career person, a parent, a friend, a mate, a lover, a human being. How? Through getting naked.

Getting Naked is about living life as the fullest, most authentic version of you. It's about cutting the crap - releasing the baggage that has held you hostage for so long and embracing all of you; the good parts, the bad parts, the public parts, and the shadow parts, so you can integrate them and become an even stronger force of positivity in the universe, through the secrets of honest self-disclosure. (The key is to discover where and with whom to be emotionally naked - being vulnerable does not mean being stupid and careless.)

For example:

• Practice being emotionally naked at the right place and the right time with the right people to release your negative patterns and create a provocative catalyst for reflection.
• Uncover "new" or hidden parts of yourself that can guide you to create a more fulfilling life.
• Apply the tools of naked self-disclosure to all areas of your life so you can enjoy greater meaning and satisfaction.

This is a book of stories, strategies, and tips, designed to overcome the negative self-narratives that obscure personal resilience and well-being. There comes a time when you have to defy the voices that hold you back. Getting Naked teaches you that it is your indisputable birthright to question any limitation - anything that gets in the way of your own magnificence. This book will provide you the inspiration, tools, self-discovery, and support to share your naked truth and in so doing to fulfill your uniqueness every day.

Excellent read for all who are tired of the mask!

Lots of worthy and provocative question to not ask oneself but to implement if one truly wants to live a life wholeheartedly. Enjoyable listen with the author.
Definitely walked away with a better understanding of what it means to allow oneself to be vulnerable with a purpose.

Great Book!

great book to bring self-awareness and motivation for change. it touches on several areas that many of us struggle with and really drives home, "if you can't love yourself, how in the heck are you going to love someone else." (RuPaul) highly recommend the read if you're looking for tools to add to your coaching tool box or just want to bring some awareness in your own life.

It's time to get naked!

It's time to get naked. You have a very short time on earth, and the question then becomes what will we do with the time we are given? Intimacy and transparency are fundamental to your ability to show up bravely, with humility and ultimately transform your experience of life.

Patrick Williams shares stories and continually asks, ”What steps will you take to step forward in your life?”

The idea that love is infinite and you're capable of accessing love as soon as you choose isn't new, yet there is a freshness to this telling. I was left with the curiosity about ways that I'm still muddling through letting go with love in my own life. And, pondering the manner in which love has the ability to open my world. If, I am brave enough to get naked, first and foremost with myself, and also with those individuals who have earned the right to hear my story.

Self-awareness and a desire to live a life one can be proud of requires us to dive into the pool of ourselves, skinny dip, and find what we most admire about who we are and whom we are becoming.

These are just some of the messages I needed to be reminded of as I once again disrobe and get to know myself at the next more profound level.

I Don't Know...

I had to re-read this a number of times which means it didn't keep my attention. Some topics resonated with me and allowed me to reflect while others left me feeling nothing. One thing that I took from reading this book is that whether speaking about religion, spirituality or worldly values, when speaking on how to improve oneself, it is impossible to stay away the subject of Godliness. ...To strip away all of those things within us that bind and enslave us and prevent us from reaching our goals... or receiving our reward(s). The Bible speaks very clearly on this. But I choose to believe that when most people speak on this subject, they speak from the best case scenario point of view which doesn't always apply to everybody. I take what I can use from material like this. What I can't use, I leave it alone.
