Be Who You Are: A Father's Empowering Message about the Point of Life

A musician's song for his children is an impassioned call to stay true to yourself--and the basis for this inspiring guide to living authentically. Award-winning composer and musician Jimmy Brandmeier always knew that happiness meant never letting go of your dreams. As his children made their way out of the nest and into the world, he wanted to make sure they had the same sense of self-direction. So he did what he does; he wrote a song. But his message was bigger than a ballad could hold. Jimmy dug deeper into everything he wanted to impart to his kids, and his song became this uniquely intimate, humorous, and spiritual book. In Be Who You Are, Brandmeier offers his children a map to the inner and outer roads of life. He teaches them that the only possible failure is failing to be who you are. No matter how successful your life may look on the outside, your authenticity is what gives your life purpose and meaning. Little did Jimmy know that the message he was so passionate about giving his children is one we all need to hear: Be Who You Are―always, no matter what, no matter where.
