Book Recommendation: Getting Real by Susan Campbell, Ph.D.

This week’s book recommendation was really inspirational for me. I’ve been very introspective lately and one of the things I’ve been trying to get a handle on is my own authenticity. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Let’s Get Real, I am more likely to be dishonest about my true feelings in order to control the outcome of a situation. Chances are you’ve been guilty of doing the same, but maybe didn’t realize it.

Have you ever…

  • been bored listening to someone but acted interested?
  • had trouble admitting you didn’t know something you’re supposed to know?
  • had trouble admitting you’re wrong?
  • had difficulty asking for what you wanted?
  • had a problem saying no or marking your boundaries?

These are some of the questions that author Susan Campbell, Ph.D. poses in her book Getting Real, and if you answered yes to any of these than you need to read it.
