'4 the best of you'
Murray Life Adventures is proud to announce the release of an exciting new resource created for youth, families, educators, and anyone passionate about personal development.
'4 the Best of You: Four Strategies for Self-Improvement' is the debut book from our youth mentor Fred Kirkpatrick, founder and director of Murray Life Adventures. Developed from nearly two decades of coaching experience, and a lifetime of learning resilience, this interactive book is designed to help young people understand who they are, why they react the way they do, and how to take meaningful steps toward becoming the best version of themselves.
A Message from Fred
“What you are is what you will stay unless you direct your focus where you want to go and how you want to grow.”
This belief sits at the heart of the book: growth begins with awareness, choice, and the willingness to take the next step.
Inside the Book: The Four Strategies
Fred explores four well-known self-improvement strategies that have helped thousands worldwide including participants through the Murray Life Adventures programs since 2016. The strategies explored include;
Conditioned Responses / Habits; understand how you are programmed to respond a certain way, be aware of your conditioned responses/habits and learn how to manage them.
The Human Side vs The Being Side; there are two sides to everyone. Your human side causes pain and suffering, whereas your being side is where all the great stuff comes from.
Teamwork; dive deeper into the importance of your teams and their value.
The Law of Attraction; a four-step system to attract anything you want.
A Book You Can Work Through
Throughout the book, readers will find an integrated workbook filled with hands-on activities and practical exercises, making it easy to apply each lesson in real life.
“This isn’t about being perfect,” Fred says. “It’s about knowing yourself better, making conscious choices, and using some practical strategies to keep moving forward.”
Why This Book Matters
Fred speaks openly about the adversity that shaped him, from family trauma to the power of discipline, community and small, persistent steps.
'4 the Best of You' brings together the principles he has taught, studied and lived, offering a clear and relatable pathway for young people to understand themselves and grow with confidence.
“I’m no guru,” Fred says. “I just want to make it easier for people to learn what took me decades to understand. When you know better, you can do better, and then become the best version of yourself.”
