What is this book about?
Become your most confident self by working with your fear—not against it—with this practical guide from the bestselling author of Own It.
Journalist and author Caroline Foran’s first book, Own It., was a godsend for her fellow anxiety sufferers. Now, she returns with You Got This, a guide for anyone who’s ever let inner fears hold them back from pursuing their goals—or asking for what they want in life.
In her unique, down-to-earth style, Foran explains what fear is and how it works in our brains. Then, she explores common roadblocks to confidence (including impostor syndrome and perfectionism—a major culprit), and arms readers with an accessible, interactive confidence toolkit packed with strategies from “fear hacking” to “sidestepping.”
Foran has her finger on the pulse of how millennials grapple with self-image today. Readers on the cusp of any new venture—at work, in love, or in life—will relish the chance to take a first step by tackling Foran’s many helpful exercises: from listing what can and can’t be controlled to defining success as what matters to them.
