Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

It was great, I liked the book a lot.

Do you have an inner critic that you can't seem to quiet? Well, if you're like me, then this is the book you need to read to help shut that critic up! Filled with useful information and tips that can help you change your thinking and make your life better.

Very encouraging and insightful. Great tips that everyone can find usual in real life. Open, in-depth and honest account of her awesomeness to help others realize they are also awesome. Boldly informative and uplifting.

“Only you can be you. And you’re already as awesome as you need to be.”

Those familiar with Alison Faulkner and her brand will smile knowingly at this mantra, as it is a mainstay of her workshops, podcasts, and trainings. In her debut book, You’re Already Awesome, Faulkner further explores this idea, utilizing personal stories as well as inspiration from the world around her.

Faulkner uses her signature wit, humor, and larger-than-life personality to help readers feel just a little more awesome than they felt before. It’s empowering and inspirational, though there are moments when the book felt specifically catered to her existing fanbase. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! I think that her fans and followers will love how well this book harmonizes with Faulkner’s other endeavors.

It perhaps a little limited in its scope, but that is because Faulkner comes from a place of privilege, something that she readily acknowledges in the text. Still, there are some great insights that felt empowering, uplifting, and universal, which is always a good thing.

An ARC was generously provided by HarperOne and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I have loved Alison for a long time. I’ve been a member of her Awesome on Demand group, I’ve binged her podcast a few times, and I’ve pretended that she’s my best friend for years (we’ve never met).

I’m quiet and boring and not very fun. Alison is none of those things. She is vivacious. She is enthusiastic. She IS the party. She can be too much for some people and that’s totally ok (Alison is the one who helped me realize that it’s ok that I’m not for everyone!).

Sooooo…..
If you like fun and self-improvement - you’ll love this book. I got a ton out of it despite listening to her podcast for years. I loved more personal Alison stories and her new insights.

To be very honest, the first few chapters didn’t grab me. I felt like Alison apologizes too much for her awesome at first.

But then it gets going and the truth bombs don’t stop. It gets better and better until yours sad that it’s over but at least you can bask in the awesome you now realize you already have.

Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC ebook of You’re Already Awesome. I’ve heard an audiobook is coming soon and I bet the words would be even more powerful in Alison’s powerful voice.

If you need a boost in your life. Alison Faulkner is your hype women. Hints the title you're already awesome. Her tips for bring confidence in your life is a plus. She has stories and tips to let you know that how you feel is not un-normal but you you are not alone. You can overcome anything and do what you want do in life.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read the book in exchange for a review.

Not only did I read that book by Alison Faulkner. I also listen to her podcast and watch her videos on YouTube. This book is truly not only about her life story its about knowing about being awesome in your own unique way.

This is a must-have resource to help one improve mental health, resiliency, and live a more full and happy life. It is full of great strategies, advice, and easy to implement ideas. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

I really enjoyed this book a lot! I was dealing with a particularly tough time when I read it, and it reminded me to see the good in myself!
