This is the first part of a two part series where we discuss our own Empowerment and Evolution, personally and socially.  We discuss the differences between self-help and self-improvement as they pertain to current ideology and marketing.  We highlight some of Pema Chodron's work as well as Jordan Peterson and Carl Yung.  We dig into anxiety and some of its roots as well as giving the framework to working on one's mind, body and actions.
