Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken first explores why it can be hard for us to be authentic – the familial, cultural, and personal influences, thoughts, and fears that make it difficult for us to do and say what is true for us, or lead us to believe that who we are is not acceptable enough. The book then presents simple yet effective ways to exercise the power of authenticity in our relationships, work, and life. The ideas, principles, and practices laid out in this book give you specific techniques which allow you to:
- Express yourself fully and with confidence
- Confront and transform fear
- Deal with conflicts directly and effectively
- Take risks and go for what you truly want
- Have more freedom and confidence in your work, your relationships, and your life
This book is filled with action items, ideas, and suggested exercises and practices. It’s easy to take what you learn in Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken and apply it to your life now!
Mike Robbins says, “Authenticity is enjoying a new sense of freedom to be who you really are - yourself, natural and without a mask.” In Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Already Taken, Robbins offers five powerful principles of authenticity and then provides action plans, exercises, resources, and anecdotes that demonstrate how to apply these principles on a daily basis in life. Written for people who want to improve their lives, their work, and their relationships, the book is brimming with inspiration and practical help.
