Review

"For most Millennials and Gen Z, we share a common understanding that adulting is hard and nothing prepares us for the complexities of life. Like myself, many young people out there are dealing with imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, fear of missing out and pressures to meet up to societal standards. It can be isolating living in a society where success is reduced to online recognition and living a facade of our true authentic self. The strength and vulnerability exemplified in this book is a reminder that perfection isn't a sprint but a continuous journey to becoming the best version of ourselves while positively touching lives. In this book, you'll find the most precise, powerful and practical examples to pursue your passion with purpose. I hope that every person reading this comes out feeling more dignified and empowered to redefine success on their own terms."
