REVIEWS “Priya has written an insightful and compassionate book for the individual who struggles with wanting to make everyone else happy, but who neglects their own self-worth and joy. The author shares, with vulnerability, her own journey to giving herself permission to live HER life and provides useful information and tools on how to break free of the shackles which hold you back. Through thoughtful guidance, concepts, and exercises she becomes your personal guide as you take back your life.” ​ —Shawn Achor, NY Times bestselling author of Before Happiness and The Happiness Advantage ​ “During my elite Olympic career which spanned over 20 years I met many people and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Priya is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. As a client of Priya’s, I was thrilled when I heard that she had decided to publish her philosophy as a comprehensive, step-by-step book … I have no doubt that people from all walks of life will benefit from the gems in this book. Take the Permission Journey™ with Priya and discover that personal happiness is acceptable and completely attainable.” —Tasha Danvers, Two-time Olympian, Olympic medalist and author
