Being Essential by Dain Dunston
If Malcolm Gladwell and Carl Jung had a baby, it would be Dain Dunston. This book took me on a profound journey of self-discovery and personal insight.
--Vince Poscente, New York Times bestselling author of The Earthquake
Leaders often know what they need to do, but don't have a clue who they need to be.
Being Essential presents the seven questions that will help any leader discover an authentic path to the true self and master a virtuous cycle of self-awareness that fosters purpose, value, and joy at work and in life.
Without a true essence of self, their leadership can feel void of purpose and confidence, affecting both teams and stakeholders. But when leaders discover their essential selves--who they are at their cores and why they show up--it enables them to reach a state of radical self-awareness, a game-changing skill that unlocks a more effective, commanding, agile approach to leadership.
For more than thirty years Dain Dunston has been coaching top executives to find the essence of their personal and professional journeys. Now readers can learn the holistic method he uses to calibrate leaders' minds for radical self-awareness and help them achieve more satisfying professional experiences.

"Avoiding management fads and corporate-speak, Dunston cuts to the heart of what it means to be an effective leader and a grounded person in today's fast-changing world. I can think of no better companion for a personal leadership journey than this book." -- Eric J McNulty, co-author of You're It: Crisis, Change, and How to Lead When it Matters Most and associate director, National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard
