Excerpt:

Start listening to yourself

This is one thing that needs to be done at the earliest. Start listening to yourself. Why? Because you don’t. You listen to your friends, your parents or even that random guy who said you are not worthy. Stop that. They are not in charge of your life and they for sure cannot how to dictate your life. And there is no way you can stop them from saying. You can stop listening to them though and start listening to yourself more often. Because only you can tell what you want from your life. Develop a clear image of what you want and your job is already half done. Once you know where to go, all you have to do is steer your life.

Why we love How To Unleash Your True Potential

This is a self-help book that perfectly suits the Buzzfeed-reading social media-loving reader. Author Shivam understands the millennial readers well as he moves away from the business-like tone of self-help books and maintains a friendly relatable tone through all the thirty-five short chapters. The book therefore not just becomes easy to read but also makes it a lot more approachable.

Have we ever wondered how we can turn our fortunes around if we started thinking like kids? Or if we paid attention to the things that we do 20% of the time that made us successful at work or happy in life, we can achieve a lot more? How a simple act of complimenting someone can boost our own confidence? These are simple things that we tend to overlook most of the times in our lives. Author Shivam does a great job in reminding us that all we need to do is look inward to realize our true potential.

The tips offered over thirty-five simple and short chapters that make the readers draw inspiration from their own lives to achieve their goals. It is not necessary for the readers to start the book from page one and go about sequentially, as the book is written in such a way that you can pick any chapter to read.
