About the Book
Believe. Behave. Become. is more than a book - it's a blueprint for transformation. Written for people at the crossroads of change, it speaks directly to those who are tired of old cycles and ready to create a life of purpose, freedom, and identity. Whether you are in recovery, rebuilding after a setback, or simply searching for a higher version of yourself, this book delivers a practical, inspiring path forward.
Author and recovery coach Jeffrey Vickers weaves together neuroscience, mindset practices, and lived experience to create a guide that is both personal and universal. At its core, the book is built on a simple but powerful truth: what you believe shapes how you behave, and how you behave ultimately determines who you become. By mastering this sequence, anyone can rewrite their story.
Across its chapters, Believe. Behave. Become. challenges readers to identify limiting beliefs, disrupt destructive patterns, and step into the daily disciplines that create lasting results. Through exercises, reflection prompts, and integrated worksheets, readers are not just consuming information - they are actively participating in their own transformation.
This book blends cognitive-behavioral tools with timeless principles of growth. It shows newcomers to recovery how to anchor themselves in a new identity, while also giving everyday people strategies to reset their mindset, develop resilience, and design a future they truly want. Each chapter builds toward action - turning insight into movement and movement into momentum.
Practical and relatable, the book avoids fluff and speaks in clear, down-to-earth language. It respects the struggles people face but refuses to leave them stuck in the struggle. Instead, it equips them with a framework to rise, sustain, and thrive.
Whether read alone, with a support group, or as part of a coaching journey, Believe. Behave. Become. is a resource for anyone who wants to unlock the best version of themselves. It is not just about recovery - it is about reclaiming the human blueprint for change.
