Our teeth aren&#8217;t white enough, we aren&#8217;t good enough lovers, we aren&#8217;t exercising enough, we have ADHD. No wonder we&#8217;re dogged by worry and self-doubt! <br><br>Luckily, M. J. Ryan can help. As the creator of the bestselling <i>Attitudes of Gratitude</i> and <i>The Power of Patience</i>, Ryan discovered that the classic virtues can help bring peace and light to our lives. Now, in <i>Trusting Yourself</i>, Ryan reveals how the long-forgotten virtue of self-trust lets us feel less overwhelmed and happier every day. Trusting yourself makes choices easier, lets you express your unique talents, and gives you greater optimism and joy. <br><br>How do we learn to set the critics aside and trust ourselves instead? Ryan teaches us how to start learning what is right with us. First she reveals the inner attitudes that nurture self-trust. If you accept that we learn through trial and error, if you believe that we each have unique strengths and that no one of us has to have them all, if you realize that labels only get in the way, then your self-trust will grow, your worries will shrink, and you&#8217;ll find happiness and success with a lot less effort. <br><br>Ryan also shares the &#8220;best practices&#8221; of those who trust themselves: Learn the way Quakers make their most important decisions by asking each other open-ended questions. When you&#8217;re feeling overwhelmed by a big project, draw on the secret of time management experts and ask, What&#8217;s the next actionable step? And when you make a mistake, remember that the master weavers of Persia include an intentional error in every carpet, to remind us that nothing human is supposed to be perfect. <br><br>A celebration of an untapped source of personal power, <i>Trusting Yourself</i> helps us find more peaceful, saner lives every day.</p> 910703 11 5 2004 Trusting Yourself: How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Live More Happily with Less Effort total:14|5:8|4:4|3:1|2:1| 14 61 33 7 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 20:36:57 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 20:39:12 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 18:41:07 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 18:42:47 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Nov 27 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 10:09:09 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 10:14:35 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 17 16:25:12 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 03:30:21 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 05 13:36:12 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 28 17:10:42 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 03 09:53:59 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 09:55:18 -0700 2008 Simple reminders in cultivating confidence and peace of mind in our everyday.]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 23 07:39:55 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 07:41:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 12:13:16 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 12:13:16 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 10:46:22 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 10:46:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 09:29:38 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 09:29:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 06 07:45:50 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 07:46:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jul 28 13:28:05 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 13:28:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 23:41:34 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 23:41:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 22 08:01:27 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 08:01:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 03 12:09:50 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 12:09:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 16 23:15:06 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 23:15:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 19:45:45 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 19:45:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 23 07:11:01 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 07:11:08 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 29 00:04:44 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 00:04:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Sep 18 09:22:48 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 18 09:22:49 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=925698
