Women Self

Selfishness is perhaps the world's most controversial, undesirable, and misunderstood trait—particularly for women. In our lives, we bend over backward to avoid this stigmatizing label. But what if we didn't? Dr. Sunita Osborn challenges what we think we know about selfishness. With radical candor and bold humor, she dispels the myths and distortions that surround the fundamental psychological concepts of self-care, self-trust, self-love, and self-discipline, explaining how these terms have become empty badges of honor because of social media, societal norms, and our upbringings.

I see a lot of self-help videos and books telling people to "stand straight" or "look people in the eye" in order to look more confident. But you don't want to look more confident, do you?

I thought to myself: "Ok, I'll look people in the eye when I talk but, what do I say?" Sure, I'll speak up more in meetings, but how? When the voice inside my head is going crazy about how I might sound weird or the question I'm asking might sound dumb.
