Authenticity is the buzzword of the moment. "Be true to yourself." "Be your real self." "Be the person you were meant to be." The message is loud and clear. Or is it? There is pressure from all around (our parents, teachers, spouses, co-workers, friends, and the media) telling us it's more important to be liked and to fit in than it is to be who we truly are. We are also constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we aren't good enough and need to be fixed.

Written by Mike Robbins--best-selling author and motivational speaker--Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Already Taken shows how you can overcome your fear about being who you really are and accept yourself without a mask, pretentions, bluff, or fakery. This encouraging book will help you confront some of your own personal challenges with honesty and genuineness. It contains powerful ideas, principles, and practices that when integrated into your life on a regular basis can help you access a deeper place of truth within you.
