Synopsis
This may be the last self-help book readers will ever need, as it helps them learn to turn to themselves for wisdom. M.J. Ryan breaks down her writings into micro-essays, each explaining individual platitudes like "Fail on Purpose" and "Don't Take Life Personally." In a world where everyone seems stressed and in doubt about their own ability to successfully live their own lives, Ryan's words are a generous, healing antidote.

Publisher's Note
In an age of constant media messages and so-called expert advice telling us to be richer, thinner, smarter, and faster, we’re all dogged by worry and self-doubt. Life coach M. J. Ryan believes we’ve become so dependent on “experts” that we’ve forgotten how to trust ourselves. In her new book, Ryan finds the answer to feeling swept away by life: understanding that we already have what it takes to cope and learning how to tap into the wisdom inside us.
In Trusting Yourself, M. J. Ryan shows that the long-forgotten virtue of self-trust, like patience and “an attitude of gratitude,” can help us live more happily and successfully. In short, beautifully crafted chapters, Ryan teaches us how to stop looking at what is wrong with us and start learning what’s right. From making more confident decisions to expressing our unique talents to feeling more optimistic, the joys of self-trust are many. A celebration of an untapped source of personal power, Trusting Yourself helps us find saner, more peaceful lives every day.
