About this listen

The acclaimed author of The Happiness Track maps a bold and fresh, science-backed path to break the bonds of self-destructive patterns and beliefs and live a fuller, more authentic life.

"Sovereign is one of the most influential books I have read in years. It's loaded with ideas that will recharge your life and change the way you think and act right away. By far the most highlighted book in my library!"
Tom Rath, #1 New York Times best-selling author of How Full Is Your Bucket? and Strengthsfinder 2.0

In the post-pandemic era of war, polarization, and economic and environmental challenges, is it any wonder that we’re questioning a lot of things we thought we knew? We’re ready to reevaluate what’s important and rethink how we are living our lives. We need a new perspective—and acclaimed psychologist Emma Seppälä offers one.

Sovereign
delivers a radically new and enlightening message, made for this age of suffering and confusion. It’s a manifesto that awakens us to all the areas in our life where we have subjugated ourselves to self-destructive beliefs and tendencies. And it’s a roadmap to reclaim our full psychological sovereignty so we can live free, happy, and authentic lives.

Seppälä’s voice is raw and honest, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply reflective, delving into topics ranging from the nature of self-loathing to the nuances of relationship as she shows us how to unbind ourselves in every area:

· In our working life and our family life.
· In our physical health and our emotional well-being.
· In our minds, our spirits, and our connection to our very selves.

Backed by psychological data, neuroscience, and empirically validated methodologies, Sovereign takes us further along the path of personal transformation than we may ever have ventured before—and gives us the true freedom to live life to our fullest potential.

What the critics say

“It is no exaggeration to say this book is life-changing. I couldn’t put it down. Emma Seppälä gives us wisdom and guidance in the form of unforgettable human stories of fallibility and courage, of astonishing scientific research (for any skeptics among us), of humor and vulnerability, and inspiration that is nothing short of poetry. This book is a gift.”
Faith Salie, Emmy-winning contributor to CBS News Sunday Morning, panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me!, and author of Approval Junkie

Sovereign is an insightful and entertaining guide to living life on your own terms—backed by science, spiced with humor, and laced with love.” — Dr. Jennifer Aaker, General Atlantic Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and best-selling author of Humor, Seriously

“With clear stories, science-backed skills, inspiring poetry, and gentle humor, Emma Seppälä invites us to explore the key experience of ‘sovereignty,’ a state of clarity and well-being beyond simply our capacity to be self-governing. In this illu­minating exploration of the essential ingredients of a resilient mind, rewarding relationships, and a meaningful life, we are empowered to develop and strengthen this liberating way of being grounded in our lives. Reading this book will be a gift that keeps on giving for all those in your life, including you.” — Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of Mindsight, Aware, and IntraConnected

Heard a lot of this before

This book pulls bits from other sources and puts it in here. It started off great talking about self criticism and self compassion. I didn’t mind that as I like positive books. However I heard the author on a podcast promoting plant based eating and veganism so I jumped ahead to the sovereign body chapter to see what she had to say and realized that chapter was partially plant based propaganda. I immediately returned the book as I can’t support this. In that chapter she does talk about things other than diet but the presence of this plant based mess negates anything good in the book. We are not cows. We are animals and a species appropriate diet is not plant based - it includes meat.. The good part of the sovereign body chapter is the stuff about toxic chemicals in consumer products.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
