What’s True About You:
7 Steps to Move Beyond the Pain of Your Past
and Manifest Your Brightest Future
“While Healing Is the Domain of the Past,
Transformation is the Domain of the Future.”
Katherine Woodward Thomas, MA, MFT, a licensed psychotherapist, recognized pioneer in transformational psychology, and the New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed books, Conscious Uncoupling and Calling in “The One.” Her latest book, What’s True About You: 7 Steps to Move Beyond Your Painful Past and Manifest Your Brightest Future will be released on January 27, 2026. (Penguin Life; Hardcover).
What’s True About You is a positive guide, centered on “future-forward frameworks,” designed to help the reader unleash their brightest future, no matter how challenging their past. The approach is highly proactive because it recommends that the reader take responsibility for their life and actively generate their future, rather than passively waiting for change.
In What’s True About You, Thomas reveals a revolutionary way to leave behind a painful past and grow into an abundant and fulfilling future. Thomas tells a crucial and liberating truth: healing and transformation are not the same. Many people spend years digging into their past to try to change their lives, only to find that while they understand themselves more, nothing significant has changed. “Transformation is the domain of the future. While looking backwards to fix what’s broken can save one’s life, it will not necessarily change it,” says Thomas.
This book is the missing bridge between trauma recovery and the manifestation of your most expansive life. It moves readers beyond the story of what happened to them, and boldly into the story of what is now possible.
In this book, Thomas guides the reader through her seven-step process. This process has the potential to liberate the reader from false beliefs about themselves and empower them to begin living and loving as their true selves.
The approach presented in Thomas’s book, What’s True About You, differs significantly from conventional manifestation concepts primarily because it redefines the prerequisites for success, shifting the focus from simply wishing or hoping for a desired future to actively transforming one’s identity as the source of creation.
This book includes the True You Breakthrough Blueprint, an atlas of 22 core belief breakdowns to help you pinpoint your specific false story and understand how that story has been happening through you, and not just to you. Giving you access to outgrow it to create a life that feels “lit up and alive with possibilities and potential.”
With her guidance, readers no longer need to let their past define or limit what’s possible as they endlessly sort through their “issues.” Instead, by following Thomas’s groundbreaking and inspiring protocol, they can change who they are today and start manifesting the positive possibilities they hold for a bright and beautiful future for themselves and for our world.
