Kick-start your motivation using gratitude, employ compassion to build your network, and take pride to maximise success.

Using cutting-edge research, world-leading psychologist David DeSteno shows you how positive emotions are far more powerful than willpower and self-denial in achieving your goals. Willpower is quickly depleted, but our prosocial emotions become stronger the more we use them. Even better, they’re contagious.

· Cultivating gratitude, compassion, and pride leads to better cardiovascular health, immune function and sleep

· Students who feel proud of their work will work 40% harder and longer than others

· Empathy and compassion are the best predictors of team success

Our prosocial emotions evolved specifically to help us resist immediate temptations in favour of long-term gains. But they can also be adapted to strengthen our bonds with our own future selves – who will benefit most from the grit we need to succeed in life.

“When I stopped trashing myself and started giving my reflection a high five instead, it was more than an encouraging gesture on a low day. It flipped that self-criticism and self-hatred on its head. It changed the lens through which I viewed my life.

That was the beginning of a massive shift in my life. A line in the sand. The beginning of a brand-new connection to the most important person in my life—myself.

A new way of thinking about myself and about what was possible for me. It inspired me to create an entirely new way of experiencing life. That’s why I wrote this book.

It’s time to cheer for YOU.”

Love,
Mel Robbins

This chronicle unfolds the journey of a girl who found her destiny and purpose under threat. Almost drowned by insecurities, guilt, bitterness, the struggle to forgive self and move forward, she encountered a Father who refused to give up on her despite the circumstances. It is a memoir about finding hope and freedom from the chains that bind us and keep us from our purpose and destinies, tackling issues that are often brushed off yet deeply affect us and influence the decisions we make. It highlights the hazardous effects of unattended wounds that affect our lives in undesirable manners. This is not a physical battle but one of the mind, heart and spirit. This is a personal experience that continues to encourage us that the courage is in getting up and getting out, whilst the faith is in taking the journey into an unknown place yet fully trusting that God Almighty is directing our paths and will not forsake us.
