From Shell: Mike Robbins is an amazing public speaker and former professional baseball player. He resides in my old stomping grounds the East Bay Area. I loved this book, I loved hearing him speak. If you can get to an event he is speaking at, do it.

Authenticity is a big buzz word these days. “Be true to yourself.” “Be your real self.” “Be the person you were meant to be.” The message is loud and clear. Or is it? There is pressure from all around (family, friends, co-workers, the media, and society at large) telling us it’s more important to be liked and to fit in than it is to be who we truly are. We’re also constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we aren’t good enough and need to be fixed.

This encouraging and practical book will help you confront and transform some of your own personal challenges with being truly authentic and genuine. It contains powerful ideas, principles, and practices that when integrated into your life on a regular basis can help you access a deeper place of truth within you.  Being your authentic self is not for the faint of heart, but once you’re willing to truly engage and do the work to become more real – your life, your work, and your relationships will be more exciting, meaningful, and fulfilling!
