You Are Not Perfect The Way You Are,
But You Are Getting There
by Dave Lanyon
In You Are Not Perfect The Way You Are, But You Are Getting There, Dave Lanyon offers a refreshingly honest and empowering perspective on personal growth and spiritual evolution. Challenging the popular notion of instant self-acceptance, Lanyon invites readers to embrace the beauty of becoming rather than settling for complacency. Through a blend of practical wisdom, philosophical reflection, and stories from his teaching experience, he explores how discipline, self-awareness, and courage to confront one’s shadows lead to genuine transformation.
This book is not about striving for impossible perfection—it’s about progress, integrity, and the pursuit of one’s highest potential. With clarity and compassion, Lanyon reminds readers that growth is the path to true peace, and that the journey toward wholeness is itself an act of enlightenment.
