Part of "B*E*A*S*T" series
"The B*E*A*S*T* Within" by Rebecca Goings is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of human nature and behavior. The book delves into the idea that we all have an inner beast, a primal and instinctual part of ourselves that is often at odds with the civilized and socially acceptable version of ourselves that we present to the world. Goings uses a variety of examples and anecdotes from her own life, as well as from history, literature, and popular culture, to illustrate the ways in which this inner beast can manifest itself in our thoughts, emotions, and actions. She argues that while this beast can sometimes lead us astray, it is also an essential part of who we are as human beings, and that learning to understand and harness its power can help us to live more authentic and fulfilling lives. One of the strengths of "The B*E*A*S*T* Within" is Goings's ability to write about complex and abstract concepts in a way that is both accessible and engaging. She has a knack for taking big ideas and breaking them down into manageable and relatable chunks, making the book a pleasure to read even for those who may not be familiar with the territory she covers. Another standout feature of the book is Goings's willingness to be vulnerable and honest about her own struggles and experiences. She doesn't shy away from sharing her own mistakes and failures, and this gives the book a sense of authenticity and credibility that is often lacking in similar works. Overall, "The B*E*A*S*T* Within" is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that will challenge and inspire readers to think deeply about their own inner beasts and the role they play in their lives. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, your relationships, or the world around you, this book is a valuable resource that is sure to leave you with plenty to ponder...
