About this listen

Why do we spend so much energy explaining ourselves—our choices, our boundaries, our feelings—to people who may never truly understand? In The Courage to Be Misunderstood, Robert Tisort exposes the exhausting "Public Relations Firm of One" we run in our heads and offers a liberating path to freedom. Through psychology, personal stories, and practical tools, this audiobook shows how over-explaining stems from fear of judgment and rejection, and how to break free by embracing the discomfort of being misunderstood.

Learn to silence the imaginary courtroom, detox from apologies, trust your internal compass, and find joy in being "too much" without justification. Perfect for anyone tired of people-pleasing, high-functioning anxiety, or the need for constant validation, and listeners of Brené Brown, Byron Katie, or those seeking true self-sovereignty.
