Sometimes the events of life can leave us resigned to feeling trapped within
a seemingly inescapable maze of intolerable suffering. A constant struggle
with challenges can be a sign of living from the ego. The good news is that
there are ways to transform an attitude from ego limitation to one of infinite
possibilities and abundance.
In a guide to improving the whole self, Geoff Keall interweaves personal
stories inspired by his family’s recovery from generational childhood sexual
assault with practical wisdom to guide others through a simple formula that
encourages a change in perspective to escape limiting views and constant
mental chatter and move toward greater self-awareness in all areas of life.
Through his insight and tips, others will learn how to:
• overcome early misunderstandings to eliminate anxiety, fears,
and frustration;
• quiet self-defeating mind chatter;
• create abundance from thoughts; and
• live in a state of grace and calm.
The Semantics of i AM shares personal anecdotes, tips, and revelations that
reveal a different way of thinking that leads to inner peace and a better view
of what it means to be alive.
Reviewed in 2020 by Foluso Falaye for Readers’ Favorite:
Over the years, humanity has nurtured a camouflaged, ever-growing beast that keeps devouring the life forces of many through the world’s acceptance of destructive competitions, soul-sucking expectations, and a dubious promise of a perfect future at the cost of appreciation for the present. The result is a collective waste of years and an endless supply of pain and suffering. Coming from Geoff Keall who has persevered through Celiac’s disease, a family crisis arising from the actions of a pedophile, and a serious injury, The Semantics of I AM delivers a guide to ending suffering. Geoff Keall shares his insights about capitalism, moving from New Zealand to Australia, managing the long-term effects of multi-generational sexual abuse, living, and working with forestry employees from different backgrounds, and arriving at a liberating realization.
Wow! What a book! With the magnitude of the revelations and the eloquence and artfulness of the delivery in his book, it is evident that Geoff Keall practices his preaching of creating beauty out of abundance as opposed to lack and desperation. The Semantics of I AM is so deep and packed with knowledge that I would love to read it over and over again. Geoff Keall’s book is for those who have tried different self-help books and several other things and still feel they are not where they need to be. It proposes a new way of thinking, which has challenged the foundations of my beliefs.

Title: The Semantics of i AM (soiamthat)
Subtitle: Leaving Your Past--Loving Your Future
Author: Geoff Keall
Genre: Non-Fiction - Inspirational
Appearance: The appearance of a book can make a significant impact on the experience of a reader, whose enjoyment is often enhanced by an enticing cover, an intriguing table of contents, interesting chapter headings, and when possible, eye-catching illustrations. Score 3
Plot: The characters of a book should be well defined with strengths and flaws, and while they do not have to be likable, the reader does have to be able to form a connection with them. The tone should be consistent, the theme should be clear, and the plot should be original or told from a unique perspective. For informative books --those without plot and characters--this rating refers primarily to your concept and how well you presented it. Score 5
Development: Development refers to how effectively you told your story or discussed your topic. The dialogue should be realistic, the descriptions should be vivid, and the material should be concise and coherent. Organization is also a key factor, especially for informative books -- those without plot and characters. The order in which you tell your story or explain your topic and how smoothly it flows can have a huge impact on the reader's understanding and enjoyment of the material. Score 4
Formatting: Formatting is the single most overlooked area by authors. The way in which you describe scenes, display dialogue, and shift point of view can make or break your story. In addition, excessive grammatical errors and typos can give your book an amateurish feel and even put off readers completely. Score 5
Marketability: Marketability refers to how effectively you wrote your book for your target audience. Authors may include content that is above or below the understanding of their target reader, or include concepts, opinions or language that can accidentally confuse or alienate some readers. Although by its nature this rating is very subjective, a very low rating here and poor reviews may indicate an issue with your book in this area.
Score 4
