You Were Not Born To Suffer
NOW TRANSLATED IN 12 LANGUAGES
In this life-changing book Blake D. Bauer explains why depression, addiction, physical illness, unfulfilling work, and relationship problems are caused by years of hiding your true emotions, denying your life purpose, and living in fear.
Having already helped thousands of people around the world find lasting solutions that conventional medicine, psychiatry or religion couldn't offer, this book will show you how to free yourself from the destructive thoughts, habits and situations that are stopping you from being happy and well.
In simple practical steps you’ll learn how to slow down and create a healthier relationship to yourself that is based on acceptance, kindness, honesty and self-worth. You’ll also find out how to transform the stress, anxiety and insecurity that result from constantly trying to please others into lasting confidence, self-respect and inner peace.
Whether it’s negative thinking, financial worry, loneliness, guilt or self-doubt that’s holding you back, Blake Bauer’s words will move you to take better care of yourself, heal old pain, and courageously move forward. If you’re ready to enjoy your life, feel passionate about your work, and create fulfilling relationships, this book will support you to live authentically, love wholeheartedly and finally value yourself enough to say your daily health and happiness are important.

“A manual for life. Buy it now and practice every recommendation. Buy it for your friends and for your family.”
“This book is awesome, and I normally don’t like self-help books. Well written with clearly a lot of thought and experience. I’m going to read it again soon. Wonderful information about why we suffer, how to be more in tune with yourself and learn to live with peace.”
This book is chock full of very useful information. It is an easy read and very down to earth. I am now reading it for the second time. It is well worth it.”
“Just wanted to let you know I've been reading your book and it’s really been helping me out a lot with my mental health the past few weeks. I felt the need to reach out since the book is resonating with me so well!”
“I'm only halfway through this book but I love it. It's one of the most important books I've ever read. It's helping me to change my life.”
“Truly found the book helpful and well written. You can tell the author understands what you may be feeling reading each sentence and uses the right words that echo to your heart. Every chapter begins with a reminder to take deep breaths. Many quotes and advice to heal yourself. There were some chapters I just couldn’t get though without crying so it took time to read, but I recommend this to anyone who is struggling or is trying to stand back up again. I hope this review will encourage you to read this book.”
“Delving into this in the setting of a book club. Wow! Everyone on the planet should read this book!! This should be compulsory reading for schools, colleges and all places of human development.”
“The whole book is truly inspiring and has a great deal of information any person can benefit from. I found this to be one of the only books I can relate my entire childhood to, and I've read many self-help books. Whether you're looking for a good read or a self-help book, I highly recommend this one!”
“I found this book to be fascinating and inspiring. It is direct and easy to read. He does a wonderful job explaining somewhat complicated concepts. Pretty much every page confirmed something for me that I already knew at some level and every chapter clarified something I was not completely clear on. I especially appreciated his take on the material world and money - that was very helpful to me as I have had conflicting feelings and thoughts regarding wealth. I have done a fair amount of growth work via many avenues and what I love about this book is that it wraps it all up in an understandable and concise format that guides the reader down a clear path with great suggested side work to assist in gaining clarity. Great timing and great job in bringing something to the world to help us evolve to next level. Thank you.”
“Blake's book is one of the most powerful books I have read. It truly helps you to understand why loving yourself unconditionally is so important. The exercises are most beneficial and really give you practical guides on how to achieve peace, health, happiness and fulfillment. I will use this book for retreats that I facilitate with adults and young adults. I am recommending this to everyone I know and buying some for friends. Hope to see more books from Blake Bauer!! Congratulations on an excellent book.’”
“I feel like this book combines so much wisdom that I have also seen before but in a format and journey of self-love and acceptance vs most ‘self-help’ books that essentially say you are not enough. This book flows so easily and there’s a new meaty point in each chapter. I honestly don’t usually even leave reviews, but Blake’s book is great. I found him on a YouTube podcast/interview - so you can also preview his vibe there before purchasing.”
“All you need to know!”
“Buy it. Read it. Read it again.”
“Life changing book completely revolutionized my outlook and my love for myself. I would highly recommend this book. Everyone should read it!”
“Well written and well explained. Very useful in today's society where so many are having problems with low self-esteem and particularly low self-worth, which this book is all about. Should be read in schools. Not 'just' another self-help book.”
“One of the best books currently available for personal growth. He resumes everything but in a much deeper level and made sure we can understand.”
“Great book. Very straightforward and good writing. Very helpful for getting to the root of the problem.”
“For anyone lost or confused in our fast moving world this is the book for you! Overcome all fear and conforming habits and do more of what you love!”
