The author writes that this book will help you to deal with what is overwhelming you in your life by: - Knowing the right questions to ask - Identifying the assumptions and distortions in your own thinking and the way you react to overwhelm - Learning why our own thinking is more to blame for our overwhelm than other people's assumptions, expectations, and guilt trips. - Listening to your own life for clues as to what you're good at and why it matters - Learning how to hone your gift--your superpower--and put it to work to banish limiting falsehoods, ditch the damaging filters, and kick overwhelm and your trigger-happy anxiety to the curb. - Giving yourself permission to pursue the truth of who you are rather than what you and other people have told you you ought to be.
