You Do You by Sarah Knight Book Review. Get a confidence boost and the motivation to follow your dreams! Read the full review on www.HelloPeacefulMind.com

Last week I listened to the audiobook You Do You by Sarah Knight and I really needed it!

As a recovering perfectionist with the dream to live my life the way I intend to by creating my business I could totally relate to this book.

I am very open about my dreams and there’s something that I noticed when I talk to my family in France: they don’t believe that I should spend time doing what I want because they think that it’s unrealistic.

Well, after months of hard work and now that I can show numbers, yes they believe in my abilities.

I love to share my evolution with friends and family because I want to inspire them to be confident enough to follow their own dreams, no matter what people around them say!

And okay it feels good to say “See I told you I could make it happen!”

So if you feel like:

  • you don’t have time to take care of yourself
  • you feel the need to justify any decision you make
  • stressed out because it’s not perfect
  • your definition of success is different from the American dream (a good job, a beautiful partner, well-behaved kids, two expensive cars and a big house)
  • you need a confidence boost
  • people are not supportive of your life

You Do You is for YOU!

Inside You Do You

  1. YOU ARE HERE: An orientation exercise
  2. DOs & DON’Ts: Rules for the breaking
    • Don’t be selfish (Life is short. Reclaim the word.)
    • Do your best (Except when you can’t. Or you don’t want to. Or it’s giving you heartburn)
    • Don’t be difficult (Ask for what you want, push back on what you don’t and beware the focus group.)
    • Do be a team player (On the contrary, you can do YOU all by yourself.)
    • Don’t quit your day job (Take risks, ignore the doubters, and prove the haters wrong.)
  3. WILLs & WON’Ts: Not-so-great expectations
    • You will change your mind (About unconventional lifestyle choices that inexplicably bother people who don’t have to live them? Probably not)
    • You won’t get anywhere with that attitude (There are plenty of perks to being pessimist)
    • You will regret that (Says who?)
    • You won’t get a good job if you don’t go to college (How to succeed at success without really caring what anyone else thinks)
    • You will never live that down (Yes you will. Go ahead and let your freak flag fly.)
  4. SHOULDs & SHOULDN’Ts: Much too much obliged
    • You should always put family first (First runner-up is okay too.)
    • You shouldn’t act so crazy (I kept a litter box under my for a year and I turned out okay.)
    • You should smile more (How to break free from the Cult of Nice.)
    • You shouldn’t eat that (I’ll take extra cheese, please.)
    • You should check your ego at the door (Check to make sure it’s fully inflated, that is)
