Selfish: Step Into a Journey of Self-Discovery to Revive Confidence, Joy, and Meaning

by Stephanie Szostak, John O'Leary Narrated by Stephanie Szostak

Overview

Self!sh (adj.)-taking time for oneself every day. Some might call that selfish. We say own it. This is your personal playbook for your mindset. Your tool kit to cope and grow. It's unique to you. It gets you back to the best of you. Yes, it's a good thing to take care of yourself. You'll bring more of what you cherish and value to the world and those around you. That's self!sh.



Chances are, if you're listening to this workbook, you are looking for a mind shift. You want more out of life. You are self-motivated to "do the work" to heal, grow, and thrive. Take a journey inward with humility and compassion. Forget the roles you play, the job title or the status symbol. Surrender. Make space for all of you, the bold and the vulnerable. This isn't about proving anything to yourself or anyone else. There is no audience here. Quiet down your inner critic. Follow your heart. Surprise yourself!



Built around eight self-reflection exercises, this workbook will guide you every step of the way through prompts, questions, and examples that will culminate in you creating your personal playbook. You will be empowered to cultivate a sense of worth tied to your intrinsic value, your character, and your principles. You will gain clarity on what is truly important to you, what motivates you, and what gets you emotionally charged to live the life you want.
