Description

Be Bold is an interactive journey for readers looking to discover and create their own unbreakable confidence. Learn how to transcend fear, trust your gut, and take practical steps to build your self-esteem. Once you break free from what’s holding you back, clarify your vision, and step into your power, you will see measurable changes in all areas of your life.

Feeling stuck or that something is just not quite right? You know you are meant for more, so how do you access the clarity and confidence to take your life to the next level? You won’t discover it by simply thinking positive thoughts or by squaring your shoulders and faking it. It requires a choice: less people-pleasing and perfectionism and more action, risk-taking, and fast failure. If you're ready to take control of your life, Be Bold is here to help you gain a deeper understanding of the internal forces shaping your life's direction. With this knowledge, you can fully realize your potential to live in a body you love, have fulfilling relationships, a meaningful career, and more. 

Each chapter builds upon an important facet of building up unbreakable confidence within yourself and has an exercise and a mantra to help guide you through each step of your journey towards boldness.

Here are some of the things that self-assured people (and soon enough, you!) do:
  • Applaud their imperfections
  • Say no
  • Trust their own judgment, and also listen to others’ opinions
  • Don’t mirror others to find what makes them happy
  • Open themselves to love
  • Ask for help
  • Strive to understand their emotions
  • Release guilt
  • Love watching their friends soar
Dispel the illusion that the reason you can't achieve something is a lack of adequate resources. All you need is within you now and this book will show you how to tap into this innate potential from the inside out. You got this!

The Live Well series from Rock Point invites you to create a life you love through multiple acts of self-discovery and reinvention. These encouraging gift books touch on fun yet hardworking self-improvement strategies, whether it’s learning to value progress over perfection, taking time to meditate and slow down to literally smell the roses, or finding time to show gratitude and develop a personal mantra. From learning how to obtain more restful sleep and creating a healthy work/life balance to developing personal style and your own happy place, the Live Well series encourages you to live your best life.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read, but also very engaging. The colorful format gave it a fun, fresh feel to the reading experience. There were exercises to help you better understand confidence and doubts throughout the book, which was a nice added feature not many books have.

Would recommend to those looking to help build confidence and take steps to overcome self-doubt.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing and eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher for this ARC and to NetGalley for facilitating it.

A really engaging and colourful little workbook with a fun light hearted approach to regaining your power, over your ego, your inner demonic little voice and how you see yourself; to make you the bad bitch you’re meant to be. Super empowering and completely achievable. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the chapters and getting a better understanding of confidence and self doubt.

Highly recommended to anyone suffering with self deprecation or self esteem issues wishing to take control and do something about it.

”Begin to notice that thinking is happening all the time -- and recognize that these thoughts arise and come and go. Treat them as thoughts, without believing they are true. Watch your thoughts come and go like clouds, coasting through clear blue sky."

Be Bold is firstly pulchritudinous with it's colorful graphics, pretty fonts and modern accent designs, and gorgeous stock photographs of clouds gracing nearly every chapter.

When I began to read the book, I didn't know what to really expect other than some self help tips and exercises. As I made my way through the first chapter, "The Voice in Your Head," I realized it's more than a self-help book on gaining confidence; Be Bold is thoroughly spiritual in its essence.

Goldstein quotes spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, Buddhist nun Pema Chodron, and psychologist Abraham Maslow among other influential thinkers to support her own theories on how to live a fuller life.

I quite liked the design of the book, and found a lot of her stories well-formed. It is truly difficult to begin the task of taking charge of one's life in a new way, especially if you've been experiencing imposter syndrome or body image issues. Ah, the human condition...

In addition to enjoying the stories, I found the exercises fun and introspective too. Particularly the letter to a friend prompt at the end of chapter six! Goldstein encourages you, the reader, to write a letter to a specific friend but date the letter two years in the future and write using the present tense. She instructs you to write about your daily life, what you have, where you are, etc. which is really interesting because I learned so much about what I care about that I thought I already knew but really didn't.

This book would be a great gift to yourself. It's not religious, but very much steeped in spirituality. You will likely get uncomfy but nothing goes *too* deep here.

This is great for anyone who needs to figure out how they can be more confident in their everyday life. I’ll be personally referring to it when I feel like I can’t achieve something.

I think this would be an amazing read for a teenager/young adult. Anyone struggling with confidence will be helped with this but I definitely will be getting this for my teenager.
