Most people think of low self-esteem as a disadvantage. Now an
acclaimed spiritual teacher and New York Times best-selling author
shows you how to embrace it as your superpower.
Do you struggle to feel worthy? Have you tried countless methods to
overcome self-doubt that don’t make you feel any more confident—or, in
fact, make you feel worse because you’re failing at them? What if you
could discover the secret gifts that low self-esteem can give?
Candidly sharing her personal experience of struggling with self-worth,
Denise Linn reveals the powerful perceptions she gained on her own
journey of redefining her narrative and embracing her life. And she
guides you to find your own path.
You’ll learn to identify the personal source of your low esteem,
whether it stems from your biochemistry, your childhood experiences,
your culture or religion, or the energy of the people and things around
you. Maybe you’re feeling drained by predecessor energies, past lives,
or toxic “dream stompers” in your life right now. Maybe you’re an
empath and absorbing the negative emotions of those around you. Maybe
you’re influenced by social media, the news cycle, or even the cycles
of nature. Whatever the case, Denise shows you the great benefits of
low self-esteem and strategies to support you when it can feel
overwhelming.
You’ll discover:
- How to be a glorious imperfectionist
- The upside of rejection
- The unexpected benefits of imposter syndrome
- How stress can be good for you
- The holy act of radical self-acceptance
- And much more

fit in, making big decisions, arguments with your partner, or big
emotions that are causing anxiety, Open When... brings the words you

everything life throws your way.
Here's what Liz Yelling (Double Olympian and Commonwealth Bronze
Medalist) said about it: "If you are new to running this is a basic
beginners guide to getting started. It will cover all your
questions about where to start and how to start. The author Annie
has written this from her heart, enlightening others from her own
experiences as a beginner. Now a regular runner and coach she now
hopes to help others embarking on their own running campaign." The
author Annie Page is a qualified UK Athletics Running Coach, an NLP
Trainer and Master Practitioner and a Coaching Master - who really
enjoys running! She says "I had not run since leaving school, where
I was probably one of the few who actually enjoyed cross country. I
started running again in 2004, with a friend and we started off not
being able to run for more than a couple of minutes and then
needing to walk, which was great because the plan we were following
told us to do just that (there is one at the end of the book). From
there I fell back in love with running, with racing and getting out
in the fresh air and enjoying the countryside. I joined my local
club Ampthill and Flitwick Flyers and have enjoyed the camaraderie
that goes with belonging to a fun, friendly, supportive and social
club. I wanted to give something back to the club and so became a
coach and have attended various UK Athletics run courses over the
years to keep my knowledge up to date." Content includes... Why
