A master of his craft, Robbins' guide is thorough, direct and carefully organized, with an understanding and enthusiastic voice. Beginning with the reasons we lose our authentic selves, Robbins enumerates the pressures to conform in family, school, religion, politics and the media, as well as the damaging messages we absorb, like \"be a good boy,\" \"calm down\" and \"shut up.\" Robbins explains how these pressures lead to self-criticism and fear, then how to overcome them through greater awareness and compassion for one's faults. With questions, exercises, action points and sound practices, Robbins provides a map to transforming fear, gaining self-knowledge and celebrating your authentic self, with a measured pace and a minimum of distraction (no sidebars, charts or breakout boxes). Readers looking for a positive, no-nonsense guide to self-actualization should find Robbins an ideal guide (\u003cb\u003eStarred Review\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One Why It Can Be Hard to Be Authentic 21\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Don’t Step Out of Line 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 I Can’t Say or Do That 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two The Five Principles of Authenticity 83\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Principle 1: Know Yourself 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Principle 2: Transform Your Fear 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Principle 3: Express Yourself 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Principle 4: Be Bold 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Principle 5: Celebrate Who You Are 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three Authenticity in Action 221\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Living Your Authentic Life 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResources 233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author 237 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733786669399,"sku":"9780470395011","price":16.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470395011.jpg?v=1720001685","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/be-yourself-everyone-else-is-already-taken-9780470395011","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
