You Are Awesome: Find Your Confidence and Dare to Be Brilliant at (Almost) Anything

Product Information

I have learned that positive thinking can lead to happiness and success in life, relationships and work. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, and, most importantly, a Growth Mindset, there’s no reason why anyone can’t achieve anything. Each emotion, everything in your life, everything you do or do not do… where you are and who you are right now is enough. My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. Chapter 7 cover's 'choking' - that's the suprise collapse in performance owing to nerves and how to avoid the anxiety associated with performing.

No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. The writing style is conversational and the text is broken up with fun illustrations, making this a fast read. I will be recommending and gifting this book to anyone who wants to learn new skills and/or just wants a delightful and inspirational read. My 7 year old might be slightly too young for this, but did listen with me and discuss it a little in the car. I think this book will be one that the kids will dip into in those times when they are struggling with stuff at school and out of school and one I would certainly recommend to friends.

You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young readers to find the confidence to realise their potential. I’ve just read Grit and this has all the best bits with more of its own and in a way that any student could understand.

Matthew’s work explores a thought-provoking approach to high performance in the context of a complex and fast-changing world. The resources have been created by PiXL and comprise of a series of lessons, each written as a direct interpretation of the book. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. My husband and I have constantly referred to having a positive mental attitude, whilst bringing up our children and strongly believe success comes through hard work.This is why I loved this book so much, it shows you that no one is really an overnight success, it peels back the curtains on the efforts you have to make to succeed and most of all it promotes active confidence in the abilities you have instead of endlessly comparing yourselves to others who have it so much better (on the surface! To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. This motivational book is ideal for sharing with any youngster who might need a little bit of a confidence boost, especially if they are struggling with school work or sports. Este livro vem relembrar-nos desse nosso pequeno lapso de memória (que muitas vezes escolhemos ter) e que podemos ser quem quisermos ou o que quisermos e desenvolvermos as nossas capacidades, quem sabe até um talento! E achei que fala umas coisas bem interessantes sobre os nossos pré-conceitos de achar que os outros nascem bons em certas coisas e que nem adianta a gente tentar porque não temos o dom pra tal coisa e como esse tipo de pensamento começa já na infância.

I also like discovering new ideas for personal development to help create better versions of ourselves. Saying that the more you do something the better you become at it isn’t inspirational, it’s stating a fact. The book is a great read and I think it is something that will really help him develop and progress as he grows.I wish the book reiterated the important concepts in a some format, just so we could remember what we learned the steps taken to get there. The first children’s book from Times journalist, two-time Olympian and best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed, it uses examples of successful people from Mozart to Serena Williams to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given, and that talent can be acquired. Even so, the punch of the direct voice, the potent and fun quotes from well-know pop figures, and the practical advice itself are top notch.

With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, and, most importantly, a Growth Mindset, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything.I loved seeing my daughter race through this book and become inspired to be the best version of her that she could be and work smarter, not harder. How inspiring it is to know that there’s a path to awesomeness and that anyone – absolutely anyone – can go down that path. You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously. The author shares stories from personal experience, the language is direct and practical, it laces what could be tough love advice with humor, and it allows kids to dip in and out, to consume in small or large doses.
