Very Insightful

I have always felt different and odd as a corporate employee that went from Home/Mom/Housewife in my early Thirty's to being an employee in a corporate setting. I never really fit in and the way that I worked was never seen by the other woman I worked with that were all career and no family. I did things differently, I connected and my empathy level for others was off the chart compared to others that were striving for a promotion then just getting the job assigned done. As I have grown from my Thirty's to now in my late 50s I have been in numerous corporation positions in various industries and the results are the same. I am a reformed housewife working in the IT world who can not seem to understand why I work so differently then others and yet have a track record that is admired and solid. I get results, finish projects on time on budget - know my industry - understand my role and those I manage but still feel odd and awkward and challenged internally daily.

That was until I saw this book on an email string sent to me about over thinking. I am not much of a reader of these types of self help books. I lack the concentration or stick-to-it-ness to dedicate myself to engage and finish. So, I usually pass. I might go so far as read the title, possibly a chapter and move on. I decided that for this book I would buy the audible and see if maybe that would help motivate and move me from chapter 1 to understanding, accepting and action.

I must tell you, the fact this author nailed my personality and what I was facing on a daily basis so accurately just made me stop and pause. It gave me hope because I am not alone. There are others out there with my work ethics and abilities - I have a community, identity and a way to define and hone.

I have not only taken part in listening to this book and understanding as she puts it - what it looks like --- that it has moved the needle with me on acceptance and how to stop beating myself up for how I am - just because I am so different than most of my contemporaries, but I have also recommended it to many of my friends that commented how alike we think but never could put a finger on what that was.

If you are struggling on how you fit into the corporate world because of your empathy, over thinking and big picture super powers - I highly suggest you listen to this book - it may change your perspective and give you insights on how to accept and work through your self doubt.

A Terrific Resource You'll Use Again and Again

Melody has constructed an accessible framework for harnessing difficult, often paralyzing, emotions and behaviors. Simply being aware of the bigger picture around how one's feelings operate and manifest in various environments is empowering; this book provides that picture. Building on that understanding, the reader is given tools to capitalize on emotions as strengths for success in their work and personal lives. Melody's concepts and tools deliver reliable guidance that does not go stale and can serve you over and over again as you navigate new challenges. Highly recommend.

A Powerful Book for Uniquely Powerful People

This book hits the sweet spot for driven, success-oriented individuals who experience elevated self doubt, imposter sydrome, analysis paralysis, and self criticism. What the author describes as "sensitive strivers" is a group that's kind of hard to peg, yet she nails it in a way only someone who has been there herself can. I have always been a sensitive person driven to push myself in life and at work. It's difficult to talk about sensitivity without making it seem either immature or like a personality defect. Others talk about sensitivity in a woo woo self-help kind of way. This book strikes a realistic tone with tons of practical examples grounded in science and actual people's experiences. It looks at sensitivity not as a defect or a mystical superpower, but as a real part of yourself. A tool you can put to work for you or allow to work against you. The book provides a clear framework to understand how Sensitive Strivers tick, examples of real people who put their sensitivity to work for them and lots of exercises to help you achieve the same results in your life. The concepts are approachable, the stories are so very relatable, and the results are powerful.

Thank you melody 💙, I felt so alone for so long.

This book had me crying with inspiration. this touched my soul and I checked off every box on every list. I'll be reading this book and listening to it for years to come. Within the first two days I already saw changing myself. You gave me acceptance except the way I am. You are a true life coach, I'll be continuing to use your coaching techniques daily. Thank you Melody 😊 💓 ☺ 💗

Very well written

I love the insight she gives to people who always strive for an A+. She is very calm and gentle in her approach to teaching a better way to approach life.

A helpful book for people like me

I listen to a lot of self-help books as I'm always looking to improve how I handle life. This book spoke to issues so specific to me, I was shocked. If you are dealing with imposter syndrome, or struggle to find confidence in your career, this book gives you not only the tools to adjust your mindset but also makes you feel like you aren't alone.

Very good for corporate climber

Having spent 21 yrs in the corporate world I am ready to venture out on my own. I was hoping this book would be an entrepreneurial mindset
guide as well. All in all though a very useful resource for a young person navigating a corporate ladder.
