Trust Yourself

The people who are most prone to burn-out are often the most committed and best performing. So how can we chart an ambitious and exciting career path while still being respectful of our limits? In this insightful book based on her own coaching career, Melody Wilding offers up a road map in 13 stages to those she refers to as “sensitive strivers”: professionals who are both highly sensitive and high-achieving and are committed to achieving their goals, sometimes even at the cost of their physical and emotional well-being. How can we let go of objectives that actually do us more harm than good and lead to our dispersing ourselves? How can we give ourselves permission to succeed? How can we agree with those around us on healthy limits that will preserve our balance in the long run? How can we not only accept our emotional sensitivity but turn it into an asset? All questions that the author addresses through practical advice, but also through introspection tools to help each reader move forward in their personal thinking.
