"""I am interested, personally and professionally, in understanding why some people thrive after depression and other mental health challenges and in building a world in which this becomes a realistic possibility for a greater number of people. I see Ryan working toward similar ends, and his synthesis is interesting, useful, and relatively novel. Become Who You Are is an impressive blend of research and imagination that resonated with me and left me thinking well after I finished reading. The approach put forward in Become Who You Are is promising, with potential to help stimulate people to do the work to overcome their mental health struggles. Reading the book could help catalyze a person's search for values, the courage to pursue their highest aspirations, and the climb to reach their ideal self. Ryan's work is not quite like anything I've come across in my experience with the academic, clinical, and self-help realms of psychology. I'm enthusiastic about his project and future ambitions for Mindform and impressed with what he has been able to build so far. It's clearly adding value to people's lives, and there need to be more efforts like it!"" - Jonathan Rottenberg PhD, Professor of Psychology and author of The Depths ""Ryan Bush has done it! He has cracked the code on the happiness equation. His theory is groundbreaking and sound. It just makes sense. Anyone who wants to live a more fulfilling, joyful, and happy life should read this book."" - Matt O'Neill, author of Conquering Bad Moods and host of The Good Mood Show podcast. ""In his book, Become Who You Are - a reference to Nietzsche's famous call to arms - Ryan Bush synthesizes the insights of philosophy, neuroscience, and positive, cognitive and evolutionary psychology - bringing each field's insights into the life together into a bold new theory that feels both refreshingly novel and as old as the hills in all the right ways. It has changed my outlook on how to live life (and retrospectively, how I've been living it) and I've already caught myself multiple times launching into an exposition of the theory with friends I thought it would benefit. This book will reorient your life towards what matters most: virtue."" - James Cussen, Founder of The Living Philosophy"
