Story
When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

We oftentimes look towards the outside world to find the roots of our problems. However, most of the times, we should be looking inwards. Our mind and our emotions determine our state of being in the present moment. If those aspects are left unchecked, we can get easily overwhelmed and are left feeling unfulfilled every single day.

Let's start with a thought experiment. Take a moment to imagine yourself, only a supremely confident version. Think of how you'd be at work, at home, with those you love and those you don't. Think of all the things you'd do differently. Now, this is the important thing: You can feel this way right now. You can feel brave and confident and full of a sense of your own self-esteem right now, just as you are.

It's not a surprise that our fast-paced, overly analytical culture is pushing people - especially women - to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this "overthinking". Her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women - more than half of those in her extensive study - are doing it too much and too often, hindering their ability to lead a satisfying life.

In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Publisher's Summary
Oh hi! My name's Olivia and I am *clears throat* a long-time member of the Insecure Girls' Club. If you are too, then you're not alone - a recent study found 62 percent of girls and women feel insecure or not sure of themselves, with seven out of 10 believing they don't measure up. But it doesn't have to be this way! There are ways out of those slumps and the days where we feel unsure about ourselves, and that's where this book comes in.
The Insecure Girl's Handbook will guide you through your insecurity no matter what life stage you're at, pointing out the pitfalls of people pleasing, negative backchat and crippling comparison along the way. It's a carefully curated toolkit of tried and tested mechanisms and small pearls of wisdom to start combatting that feeling that holds us back from speaking up, from following our dreams or even feeling that our dreams aren't good or big enough. I hope it will provide you with a comforting hug and pep talk, from one insecure girl to another, so you can stop imposter syndrome in its tracks and halt the waves of self-doubt that sometimes unexpectedly flood our work life, friendships, relationships and every other crevice in between.
So, here's to treating ourselves like we treat others, putting ourselves first and being the secure and thoughtful women that we know we can be. I know you're good enough - and by the time you've finished listening, I'm positive you'll think so too.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Lovely & The Most Helpful
I am beginning my journey to self love. This was the first book I saw on Google when googling “best self help books for dealing with insecurities”. I was a bit nervous and unsure, but when I say I’ve learned so much from Liv, it’s an understatement. She is so relatable and helpful. I felt like my closest friend was in my head and telling me the best ways to overcome my fears and how to love myself. Her tips and tricks are realistic and doable. I absolutely, 100%, recommend this book to anyone else that is beginning or has already begun their journey to self love!

so refreshing.
Perfect book to begin my journey to self love, confidence building and self image repair.
Lots of great pointers and advice.
Today I woke up uninspired and lacked motivation due to work not going the way I had planned out (I'm in Real Estate) I decided to pick up some new books to help me shake out of the funk.
This book definitely helped lift my spirits and remind me that it is me that's self sabotaging myself and that I need to get out of my own head.
The narrators voice is very soothing and calming, she's witty and clever. I'll be sharing this book with my sisters and my teen daughter.

For younger listeners in their teen years-20s
The narrator voice was pleasant, but there was more personal stories of a young girl and statistics than actual advice. It could be more useful to a teenage or a young woman in her 20s, but for 30+ who lost confidence due to some external events (multiple cancer in the family, being mobbet at work you cannot quit due to financial obligations, insuline resistance from stress causing rapid mass growth until diagnosed) not so much.

Skipped the chapter on friendships as I feel I'm good in that department but I took something positive from every other chapter. I definitely think when I have bouts of insecurity in future I'll crack open this audio book as a pick me up.
