Review of The Unfakeable Code®
Posted: 07 Apr 2025, 04:58
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Unfakeable Code®" by Tony Jeton Selimi.]
My favourite thing about this book is how it distinguishes itself from the normal run-of-the-mill self-help book. You see, this isn't another manual on the acquisition of magical abilities or otherworldly skills that will give you the life you fantasise about when you daydream; in my opinion, there's too little pragmatism in those books to take them seriously, and their authors share more similarities with con artists than wise men.
This book supplies its readers with practical skills and enlightening information (some of which are common, but we overlook or ignore them) to effect subtle but significant changes in their minds, causing them to lead lives they never thought were possible—not some idyllic dream but a life filled with joy and fulfilment that comes from within, a genuine purpose that's specifically tailored to each person's individuality.
No two persons are completely the same; even identical twins. It is therefore preposterous that a lot of us have similar desires and goals, millions of people trying to be like one person. This is the great fallacy that The Unfakeable Code tries to correct. It's basically saying individual authenticity is the real power. When we discover who we are and not who people tell us we are, we are unburdened from the yokes of societal expectations and public perception. Only then do we find freedom from the false masks we wear (some of which are so deeply subconscious that we think it's who we are).
The author takes his time to explain the origin of some of these facades and how they might have even been helpful at some point in our lives, how some of them have been indoctrinated into us through the media or society, and how others are just a product of our base desires.
These false personalities and pretences we put up keep us from obtaining our true potential because it's not in our nature; sure, we might thrive for a while, like a dog in water or a bird on land, but until we start to run rather than paddle or start flapping rather than running, we'll never find our power. The power to transform ourselves to lead the kind of lives that's natural to us rather than what the world tells us or what we desire – a life that's true to ourselves and our nature.
The message is simple: individual authenticity is freedom, that freedom is true power, and with that power everything is possible.
The author uses simple exercises and resources to help the readers discover their true selves. Pulling from a great history of psychological and philosophical teachings, in addition to his impressive wealth of experience, he also takes a bit from some of his clients and colleagues to compile this phenomenal work. A couple of useful anecdotes and spiritual precepts were also added to give the reader a wholesome experience.
This isn't some arcane art or spiritual exercise; it's the culmination of decades of social science. This should inspire confidence in the hearts of prospective readers that if the principles and tasks in this book are studiously observed, they'll eventually lead to positive radical changes in your worldview and thought processes.
I love how he begins with a sort of journey of disillusionment into uncharted waters. He rids you of what you think you know about yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, hopes, desires, and fears; he forces you to question everything and reevaluate its purpose in your life. This journey ends with a rediscovery of oneself in which a solid sense of self is formed and a strong worldview is developed. What is left is a man who has truly conquered himself, an unstoppable man.
The book was properly edited, as I didn't find any errors. I rate the book a 4/5 because of the depth of the message and the way it sets itself apart from other self-help books with tangible results and realistic goals. I feel like the book could have been more pleasing to read, though, because when I was reading, it felt a bit like a long-winded lecture or a guidebook. It was quite difficult to read sometimes, but I learnt a lot.
