We are infinitely more than we think we are. Our families, communities, and schools may influence our lives — for better or the opposite — but, at the end of the day, it is we, not they, who determine how great we can become as we progress on the journey we call life. As awesome as our personal potentials are, we need to forever be expanding them beyond our current understanding as we continue discovering more about who we are within. Drawing from the vast sea of Chassidic wisdom and many works of psychology and human development, Jonah Simcha Chaim invites readers on a journey into the core of who they are beneath the layers of defense mechanisms and protective armor, as they strive to conquer the world around them. Expanding Potential is an exploration of empowerment, vulnerability, courage, and growth, set against the backdrop of the Jewish calendar. It’s a rebellion against who we’re told we need to be, in favor of who we choose to become. It’s about breaking the limits to which others try to confine us and, out of those fragments, creating our own masterpiece.
