Shook One

Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me

De: Charlamagne Tha God

Narrado por: Charlamagne Tha God

Charlamagne Tha God, New York Times best-selling author of Black Privilege and cohost of Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, reveals his blueprint for breaking free from your fears and anxiety to reach that elusive next level of success.

Fear is holding you back. It’s time to turn the tables and channel your fears to actually fuel your success.

Being “shook” is more than a rap lyric for Charlamagne; it’s his mission to overcome. While it may seem like he is ahead of the game and should have nothing to worry about, he is still plagued by anxieties - fear of being weak; fear of being a bad dad; fear of being a worse husband; and, ultimately, fear of failure. Shook One chronicles his journey to beat back those fears and empowers you to no longer be held back from your potential.

Shook One details the ways anxiety has been a driving force in Charlamagne’s life since childhood. For many years, he stressed over what he thought were personal shortcomings: being unpopular in school, potential rejection by women, being ugly, and, worst of all, falling into the life of stagnation or crime that caught up so many of his friends and family in his hometown of Moncks Corner, South Carolina.

Even after achieving national prominence as a radio personality, Charlamagne still found himself paralyzed by thoughts that he wouldn’t be able to take his career to the next level. But now, in Shook One, he is working through these problems with help from mentors, guests on his show, and therapy. He knows therapy and showing weakness are anxiety-producing in the Black community, but this is one of the reasons he wants to own his truth - to clear a path for others in hopes they won’t feel shame while dealing openly with their mental health.

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
