Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.

Story
Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

Why do some people achieve great personal success, yet never succeed in building a business or making an impact in their organization? John C. Maxwell knows the answer. According to Maxwell, the greatest leadership principle that he has ever learned in over 35 years of leadership is that those closest to the leader will determine the success level of that leader. It’s not enough for a leader to have vision, energy, drive, and conviction. If you want to see your dream come to fruition, you must learn how to develop the leaders around you.

Story
Although many of us prioritize our physical health through exercise and healthy eating, we often forget to spend time boosting our mind, mood, and mental health. It is so important that we focus on mental self-care and reducing daily stress since mental toughness and resilience will get us through difficult times and help us achieve success in every area of our lives. Using the incredible power of our minds, we can persist and grow in response to life's challenges.
Publisher's Summary
In this much-needed audiobook, which is part self-help and part autobiography, award-winning correspondent Mariana Atencio digs into what makes each of us special and the ways in which we can become a force for good in a broken world.
As a bilingual correspondent for NBC News, Fusion TV, and Univision, Mariana holds a unique perspective - having immigrated from Venezuela to America as a young adult, having overcome challenges to graduate from Columbia University and eventually become a national news correspondent, and having seen firsthand the humanity that is ever so present in the midst of both adversity and opportunity.
Mariana’s story is the powerful, inspiring story of life in the United States as an immigrant. Yet it is at its core a human story. It is all of our stories, and it is a call to every man, woman, and child to unlock the magic of their potential and begin to thrive.
The media screens of today perpetuate stereotypes, but what would happen if instead of comparing ourselves and falling short, we compared ourselves and celebrated our uniqueness? What would happen if we believed in our worth and embraced what makes us different? And what if we truly saw those around us as neighbors and not merely adversaries to our particular group or station?
The days of doubt and division must end. It starts with authenticity, persistence, and understanding what truly makes you special.
Follow along on Mariana’s journey with photos available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Mariana Atencio is one of the millennial generation is top TV news talents, one of the only latinas of any generation to cross over from spanish-language to mainstream media, and now the proud author of her first book, which is excellent ... an instant classic, essential reading, esp. for any Latina looking to rise in the news business.

Mixed feelings about this book
~6 hours of self-promotion. I am another Latin who migrated from Mexico and actually felt embarrassed with a few passages of this book. It also has a few entertaining chapters and very sad moments (like the papi passing one ). This is a story about a semi privileged relatively pretty venezuelan girl forced to migrate to USA. Kind of weird of initial struggle and barely legal methods to (stay) in the US. Weird because she studied in an Ivy League college, that’s supposed to open you many doors if you are really good, but struggled to find a job. ( so this is not the typical Latin immigrant story and most of the time there is this condescending tone ). Fired from work and close to stay illegally in the US. Loopholed the sister in. The one thing that I really disliked of the book is that some people might take it too seriously to be “perfectly them”. What I mean by this is that when you migrate to a different country you need to respect it and at least try to merge into the culture a bit. specially when it comes to respecting the law which is one of the top values of this country and at times it sounded like you were willing to break it and justifying illegal migration. I think that’s wrong, people who enter here suddenly feel entitled to many things, we are not we gained and while we should absolutely be proud about our heritage we should also go by the rules and general customs of this beautiful country.
Other than that congratulations on the book is entertaining .
Oh and the audio breaks frequently on some parts of the book you guys should fix that!

Inspirational
I’d recommend this book to any immigrant, child of an immigrant, and/or anyone interested in learning about the many hardships youthful immigrants must ensure on their way to success. Mariana speaks of the importance of focus, authenticity, open-mindedness, relentlessness, and risk-taking. I was nearly moved to tears when she described the racial/ethnic prejudices she and her husband have endured as well as the beauty of connecting with a supportive mentor in Maria Elena Salinas. I hope and pray this book reaches millions because her story is inspirational and may to encourage others to take chances in the face of great adversity in pursuit of a new American Dream. Kudos to Mariana.
(Memo to Audible: The recording became quite choppy in Chapter 7). Otherwise, everything about this including Mariana’s relatable accent are perfect.
