I'm not good enough. Not smart enough. Not talented enough. We all do it. Belittling who we are, what we do, what we stand for--often without even realizing it. And it's stuck on a loop. Yet if shifting our toxic self-talk was as easy as repeating positive mantras, we'd have done it already. With Want Your Self, Katie Horwitch offers an approach for deep and lasting change--a guide for becoming fluent in an inner language for loving who you are while growing into the person you were meant to become.

In Want Your Self, you'll find step-by-step guidance for finding, being, and staying your Self in this increasingly chaotic and complex world. Horwitch shines a compassionate light on the seemingly everyday moments that define your narratives and unpacks your inherited emotional DNA--then shares invaluable practices like Truth Maintenance, The Planned Freak-Out, and The Fear-Less Equation to help you sift through years of pretending and perfecting to unearth the strength in who you were all along.

"Behind every person fighting against their Self is really a person who yearns to want their Self," says Horwitch. "And that is a journey worth going on." Want Your Self is the blueprint for that journey--a pragmatic and proactive alternative to the toxic positivity that keeps us disconnected from ourselves and each other.
