ABOUT THE BOOK

People base their identity on the judgments and points of view of those around them: Parents, teachers, friends, mass media. With such a strong awareness of what people around you believe about you and expect from you, it is very easy to become confused about who you are and who you may choose to be.

The Gift of Allowance by Gary M. Douglas, offers a simple set of tools to help you fine-tune and reclaim your identity, and begin to move your life in a new direction. Throughout the book, Mr. Douglas aims to empower you to see how the choice to have allowance can free you from the judgments you have been using to limit yourself and begin creating your life in a pragmatic way.

“When you are in allowance, you are free. Allowance is the greatest gift you can give anybody, including you.”

The Gift of Allowance is an exploration into the basic principles of allowance: what it is, what it is not, and how to have total allowance with others and, most importantly, yourself. In its pages, you will learn how to get clear on what you believe to be true about yourself and how to use that to create what you truly desire.
