Playing Big
by Tara Mohr
Mohr's program for women who hold back: the inner critic and the inner mentor, unhooking from praise and criticism, leaping before feeling ready, and communicating without undermining yourself. It is practical, warm and specific about the patterns that keep capable people small.
Read it if…
you are competent and still under-reach, over-prepare and defer.
Skip it if…
you want a general confidence book; this is written for women specifically.
Three things you will actually use
- Name the inner critic; it is not the truth.
- Leap before you feel ready.
- Drop diminishing language: 'just', 'sort of', 'does that make sense'.
Do this first
Take one 'leap' this week: an action that takes less than two weeks and puts you in front of people.
Our verdict
Warm and practical; a program for playing bigger.
