Grace Yourself: How to Show Up for the Sober Life You Want by Chris Janssen
Chris Janssen’s Grace Yourself is a guide for anyone struggling with addiction to move beyond self-limiting behavior into a life of fullness and freedom.
Alcohol had a hold on Chris Janssens’s actions and thoughts until she made the life-changing decision to attend a support meeting and realized two truths: it wasn’t her fault and she wasn’t alone. Once she was embraced by a community that offered a nonjudgmental look at her struggles, Chris discovered that if she wanted to have a full and lasting life, alcohol could have no part.
In Grace Yourself, a humble account of Chris’s transformation to an alcohol-free life, she offers a hand to others who are experiencing similar struggles, whether their addiction is alcohol or anything else.

Grace Yourself will help you:
Get crystal clear on what you want and why you want it.
Identify limiting beliefs keeping you stuck.
Create sustainable narratives that serve you and your goals.
This is a book for recovering sobriety after relapse, recovering perfectionists, and for anyone who desires to release controlling thoughts.

The failure pivot: why failure can deliver better lessons than success and how to take those lessons forward
The success pivot: Beating the market by seizing opportunity and out-pivoting your competitors
In laying out each of these pivots, Shapiro shares unique lessons on how leaders can change minds and mindsets and steer their organizations to success in an increasingly competitive environment.
