This was a short and to-the-point audiobook packed with practical examples and tips to stop sabotaging yourself. Emma Gannon explained how “fear” could actually tell you it’s something you want so deeply you use it as an excuse to run the other way. That is my relationship with the whole dating process. I want to find my person, but instead of giving people a chance, I would tell myself why it “wouldn’t work.” When this pandemic is over, and it’s safe to meet and date again, I’m not going to allow myself to self-sabotage anymore. I’m going to be open and pay attention to the life events that bring “fear.” If this fear pops up, it means I’m close to something or someone I really desire. Another idea discussed was procrastination. Emma encouraged us to “just start” instead of waiting to be “in the right mood” to begin that project. I want to get a physical copy to reference and keep myself accountable, so I’m aware of these “self-sabotage” moments and avoid them.

Thank you, Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing, for this free copy in exchange for my honest review.
