To Be or Not To Be: Shedding an As-if Personality

Stacy Blemaster

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players.

- Shakespeare


Maybe you want to be more than a mere player? I spent the first half of my life acting, because I thought it was what I had to do. But I discovered that life is about more than acting. I had to unwind the two-dimensional life of my childhood by peeling away layers of a facade to reveal a three-dimensional world. This new world was full of feelings and nuances that made life worth living.


If you're struggling with a mask that you can't take off, and have found that conventional methods like psychotherapy and medication have not worked for you, this book may be for you. My story of genuine healing will encourage you on your own path towards authenticity. To Be or Not To Be will show you that it is possible to overcome mental illness using unconventional methods, as I did. My story can help you devise a plan for your own journey to a three-dimensional life - starting today, right where you're planted.
