Summary of robert s. mcgee's the search for significance

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We all have emotions, but some of us lack objectivity. We fail to see the reality of our lives because we are unaware of the extent of our wounds. We feel that our situations are normal, and we deny the existence of our emotions. #2 We all develop elaborate defense mechanisms to block pain and gain significance. We suppress emotions, are compulsive perfectionists, and drive ourselves to succeed. We attack people who hurt us, and we punish ourselves when we fail. #3 The purpose of this book is to help you understand the basis of your self-worth. You will learn how to identify and understand the nature of man's search for significance, and how to recognize and challenge inadequate answers. #4 The second way we know if something is critical to our lives is to see if God gives much emphasis in His Word regarding a particular need. We find that God constantly tells us that we are so important to Him that He always keeps an eye on us.
