The Caged Truth - Softcover

As modern men, we all hold truths about who we are and who we can become, but most of the time, it's locked up inside. Sometimes we simply forget to give our truth attention, so it fades into the shadows. Other times, we consciously imprison it. Author Jim Dwyer locked up his truth for nine years. It called out to him, first quietly, then raging. With time, Dwyer learned how to recognize his truth and release it from its cage so he could live a fulfilled life balanced across work, family, and self. The Caged Truth teaches us that we are not necessarily living a lie when we don't live our truth; we are simply not being who we are meant to be. Becoming our truth is not always easy. We talk ourselves out of it because we are afraid of failing or looking like a fool. Sometimes we just stop thinking about it, but we always feel that caged animal rustling within. There is a way to unlock that truth-a key to finding the life we are meant to live. The Caged Truth is about each man releasing his truth.
