About How To Be You: Stop Trying To Be Someone Else And
Product Description Too short. Too weird. Too quiet. Not true. Let Internet superstar Jeffrey Marsh help you end those negative thoughts and discover how wonderful you are. An interactive experience, How to Be You invites you to make the book your own through activities such as coloring in charts, answering questions about how you do the things you do, and discovering patterns in your life that may be holding you back. Through Jeffrey's own story of "growing up fabulous in a small farming town"--along with the stories of hero/ines who have transcended the stereotypes of race, age, and gender--you will discover that you are not alone. Learn to deepen your relationship with yourself, boost your self-esteem and self-worth, and find the courage to take a leap that will change your life. Review “The advice Jeffrey gives is so succinct and so intimately personal that I swear, if your brain could change colors in reaction to humans, Jeffrey's words would turn your brain bright pink.” —Bustle “Their message is simple: Be yourself. Be happy with yourself. Be more comfortable with your differences — and embrace and enjoy them.” --Digg About the Author Jeffrey Marsh’s spiritual and inclusive messages have received over 400 million views on social media.

And it aims for the heart too. If I could offer a teeny bit of advice, it’s not to shoot for understanding anything in here, but to shoot for seeing what resonates with what you already understand. I beg you to look for your own truth. What connects with your own life and with the world as you see it? What zaps you right in the heart? I have endeavored to make so much of this book about your experience. I trust you deeply and I want you to trust your own truth of what we’re going to talk about too. So you’ll notice that each chapter has some kind of fun, challenging, enlightening, and delightful exercise or experience of the topic at hand. We are creating this book together and it is meant to be the manual on how to be you that you didn’t get while growing up. It’s never too late to learn how to live a full happy life as you, and now’s the best time to start. One more suggestion before we get started. Repeat this book. Your understanding of the things in these pages will deepen and grow as you grow, so I’ve made it easy to repeat and reread it every five years or every year or every week. In this book, you will create astounding expressions of who you are, and build your own windows into how the world works. Who wouldn’t want to do that again and again? Why not keep refining your idea of how to be you? So grab your pencil and crayons and enjoy yourself. Before we get into the heavy, joyful stuff, a little bit about me . . .
