In BECOMING - The Emergence of Being, the protagonist, Yoren Healy, is a man in his late thirties who appears to have it all: a high-flying executive career, abundant material possessions, financial stability and a loving fiance. However, deep down, he is lost, stuck and unfulfilled. Yoren is a relatable character who represents many in society today and whose journey could apply to anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity and cultural or religious background. Readers will follow Yoren's transformational journey as he navigates the pathway to removing the roadblocks hindering him from fulfilling his dream of creating a startup business with the support of his coach. Along the way, they will discover the reasons behind Yoren's state of being and unfulfillment, including his upbringing, family heritage, perception of societal expectations and how he relates to the world, the people in his circle of influence and himself.The being discourse, as described and referred to in this book, is directly based on the Being FrameworkTM, a paradigm author Ashkan Tashvir created with the help of his team over the past decade, which supports users in developing a lens beyond identity or the surface-level attributes of skin colour and gender and focuses on the most fundamental and primal qualities all human beings have in common but relate to differently. So while this book is a work of fiction, it isn't fantasy; it has its roots firmly grounded in reality. By following Yoren's story, readers will experience a fresh perspective grounded in philosophy and shaped by Tashvir's globally adopted framework that illuminates the reality beneath the facade of human beings and acknowledges that we are all capable of transformation. This novel is for anyone who wants to gain an in-depth understanding of human beings, including themselves. It's also for those who feel stuck, suppressed or know something needs to change but don't know where to start. Existing coaches keen to explore a different approach or anyone interested in becoming a coach would also find this book beneficial.
