The Complete Being: Finding And Loving The Real You by Tami Brady (Dean of the School of Religion and Spirituality, Suite University) is a thoughtful and thought-provoking guide to dealing with those upsetting occurrences with which we are often faced as a result of the realities of stressful living. Addressing issues relevant to the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of daily life, The Complete Being offers a measured and sage understanding of such issues as being caught up in a depressive and unhappy life, and creating a comprehensive understanding of what happiness in its purest form really is. A welcome and "reader friendly" addition to any self-help, self-improvement reading list or library reference shelf collections, The Complete Being is very strongly recommended, especially for those who are chronically unhappy or persistently unsatisfied by the everyday tedium surrounding their life and supersession their most deeply rooted ambitions.

Tami Brady has provided a template to help the reader see life as a whole. The book is divided into four sections: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. First Brady explains specifically the aspects of each. She moves on to ask the questions: How do these aspects affect daily life? What does this mean for me in particular? How can I go about changing or altering my current mixture of aspects? She then guides the reader to ask the question: What next?

As a part of this journey in self discovery Brady helps the reader explore predetermined conditions, genetics, and learned behavior patterns. Each section of the book includes practical, innovative exercises with specific questions to aid the reader in personally applying the principles discussed.

These exercises are especially valuable for use during times of extended contemplation and reflection. The book is introspective and individualistic. I found Brady's suggestions regarding active journaling especially helpful. A comprehensive bibliography and resource list enhance the future value of the book as a source of future study.

This work is an excellent choice for inclusion in the Spiritual Dimensions Series published by the Loving Healing Press. I found it helpful for self examination and analysis. The author helped me gain insights into my personal behavior patterns and in understanding myself in relation to the world around me.

Tami Brady is very articulate and an excellent communicator. The book is designed to help the reader discover for themselves an understanding of their own unique personality.
