You Are Enough

OVERCOMING LIFELONG DOUBTS OF WORTHINESS

"In the depths of heartache and personal turmoil, I embarked on a profound journey of healing."

With the tragic loss of my sister-in-law to a relentless battle with alcohol addiction as well as the unexpected estrangement from my oldest daughter, I confronted long-standing childhood wounds that stayed with me into adulthood. Doubt, uncertainty, and a persistent sense of inadequacy consumed me. But within the pages of this book, I share a transformative journey—one that led me to the life-altering realization that I am enough, and, dear reader, so are you!

Through poignant storytelling, we delve into the devastating impact of feeling unworthy. I recount the gripping tale of Kevin Berthia and the retired officer, Kevin Briggs, who saved him from the precipice of despair on The Golden Gate Bridge. Witness the heart-wrenching story of the Berns Family, and the tragic loss of their daughter to suicide.

"I hadn't read a book cover to cover in years and while that's embarrassing, it was my reality, I just never made the time to sit down and read a book for quite some time. Then I came across this book and the author and title of the book interested me. I'm an emotional guy and this book got me teared up almost instantly cause of the stories I read and how relative they were to some of the things I've been going through in my personal and professional life."

Anthony Saitta

"Eric Brooker's "You are Enough" takes you through the author's personal journey of confronting emotional scars, and navigating questions of self-worth that are common to most human beings. In the process of tackling this difficult subject matter, Eric commits to a level of vulnerability that quickly captures the reader's attention, and sets a powerful tone of transparency and self-reflection."

John H

"I ready the book non-stop in one sitting. I felt a strong emotion with the humanity displayed in the pages. Yes also a great amount of meaningful take always that I've already co-opted into my daily life. If you have kids, read this book. If you struggle with identifying your self worth, read this book. If you want to give yourself some real contemplative ideas about how to treat one another, read this book."

Lucas M

"This is a message that all of us need to hear and we need more courageous witnesses like Eric to say it."

Justin K

"It's rare that you pick up a book for lessons and insights into professional leadership, only to find that you've gotten so much more! Eric Brooker brings you, the reader, into his life and invites you into the lives of people he admires and so beautifully shares the most important of life lessons: YOU are ENOUGH. He writes with candor and opens his heart with humility. Every story includes a poignant lesson and every lesson can (and should) be applied - both in business and in one's personal life. Amazing read and worth your undivided attention! I'm thankful for Eric's witness. In a world that reminds you - day in, day out - that you shouldn't be satisfied with how you were made, Eric shines a light on a beautiful truth: YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made!"

Marco Velasquez

"Eric blends his personal stories with relatable moral lessons for the reader. The first half is gripping with his honesty and vulnerability. The second half carries you through what to do with it. The end is heartwarming and heart-wrenching. Recommend to anyone who wants to go way below the surface into the 'feels' and to talk about things we don't talk about."

Steve F

"I heard Eric speak at a conference and was inspired to pick up a copy of his book. It wasn't what I had expected. It was so much more than that. You are Enough is a vulnerable and deeply moving personal account of a relationship between a father and his daughter. An important book for anyone struggling with relationships and/or their self worth - in other words, everyone."

Nathan Schock

"I rarely pick up a book that leaves me in tears. From the very first chapter, I was hooked, and all I could think of was how much I wished I could tell my brother he was enough while he was alive. Eric pours his heart out in this book and shares many relatable topics we all have faced in some form as children, parents, and adults. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with the idea that they are not worthy or want to overcome self-doubt. This is a book you will want to revisit time and time again."

Timothy Ramos

"The book's powerful message on personal loss resonated deeply with me. It helped me understand that the pain we experience in relationships isn't always a reflection of our own shortcomings. Perhaps most importantly, it ignited a much-needed process of healing within me. I am now committed to being fully present for myself and those I care about, embracing the empowering truth that: I AM ENOUGH!"

Kyler Peterson

"Personal and Relatable: Brooker's narrative is deeply personal, yet universally relatable. He shares his own journey with vulnerability, making you feel seen and understood. Unlike some self-help books that offer vague platitudes, Brooker provides concrete, actionable advice. He doesn't position himself as a guru who has all the answers but as a fellow traveler on the journey to self-acceptance."
