Shook One

Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me

De: Charlamagne Tha God

Narrado por: Charlamagne Tha God

Charlamagne Tha God, New York Times bestselling author of Black Privilege and always provocative cohost of Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, reveals his blueprint for breaking free from your fears and anxieties.

Being “shook” is more than a rap lyric for Charlamagne, it’s his mission to overcome. While it may seem like he’s ahead of the game, he is actually plagued by anxieties, such as the fear of losing his roots, the fear of being a bad dad, and the fear of being a terrible husband. In the national bestseller Shook One, Charlamagne chronicles his journey to beat those fears and shows a path that you too can take to overcome the anxieties and emotional blocks that may be holding you back.

Ironically, Charlamagne’s fear of failure—of falling into the life of stagnation or crime that caught up so many of his friends and family in his hometown of Moncks Corner—has been the fuel for his grit and hustle. However, even after achieving national prominence as a radio personality and working with icons such as Russell Simmons, Gucci Mane, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charlamagne still found himself paralyzed by anxiety and distrust. Here, in Shook One, he is working through these problems—many of which he traces back to cultural PTSD—with help from mentors, friends, and therapy. Being anxious doesn’t serve the same purpose anymore. Through therapy, he’s figuring out how to get over the irrational fears that won’t take him anywhere positive.

Charlamange hopes Shook One can be a call to action: Getting help is your right. His second book “cements the radio personality’s stance in making sure he’s on the right side of history when it comes to society’s growing focus on mental health, while helping remove the negative stigma” (Billboard).

Another Great Book

I love CTG's books and I really enjoy the collaboration with Dr. Ish to give more depth to the ideas around therapy and mental health. I am a decade long fan of CTG on the radio, as well as Wendy (.... how you doin?). This is what our people need right now: healing and understanding.

Everything

I don’t know why it took me this long to read the book because I wish I had read it when it first came out. Can’t wait to read the next one

Another great book!

Another great book by Charlamagne the god. I learned so much... must read book for anybody dealing with anxiety or stress issues as well as trauma. "I am a damaged individual who is working on healing my pain. " -Charlamagne the god

THANK YOU!

Good Book

I enjoyed this book far more than the first one (not to say I didn’t like the first one because I did). This book was very informative and made you think about your life, how you can always do better, never fear getting help and how to deal with what’s going on in your life.
Thanks Charlamagne

I just love Charlamagne!!!!

Charlemagne has done it again! To write a book about something most African Americans deal with but won't speak about just tells you so much about him! So many Gems! This guy is the bomb!

Good stuff

Again, this authors life story is truly interesting to say the least. What's truly amazing to me is how much of his story I can relate to. I feel like this story is written especially for me. For the things I have yet to experience, I love hearing the route that was taking so that if I get that cross road, I'd have something to relate it too.

Another Great Read

This is an amazing read the language is very colorful and unnecessary but great points are made. I'm very proud that he of transparencies and openly rawness.

Love the book

This book is so good, I enjoy listening to this book I recommend this book.

Shook one

I found the book to very informative. The book really broke down a lot of mental illness that some people may not know that they have. Charlemagne tha God really did an excellent job at telling the truth about his own story and that of the African American community.

Amazing!!!!

This book is just what the black community needs and anyone who suffers from or know someone who has mental illness. Very simple and easy to understand and the stories make you want to keep going!
