Publisher's Summary

“Katie Horwitch is the queen of self-empowerment.”— Liz Moody, host of the Liz Moody Podcast and author of How to Build Your Best Life

I’m not good enough. Not smart enough. Not talented enough. We all do it. Belittling who we are, what we do, what we stand for—often without even realizing it. And it's stuck on a loop. Yet if shifting our toxic self-talk was as easy as repeating positive mantras, we’d have done it already. With Want Your Self, Katie Horwitch offers an approach for deep and lasting change—a guide for becoming fluent in an inner language for loving who you are while growing into the person you were meant to become.

In Want Your Self, you’ll find step-by-step guidance for finding, being, and staying your Self in this increasingly chaotic and complex world. Horwitch shines a compassionate light on the seemingly everyday moments that define your narratives and unpacks your inherited emotional DNA—then shares invaluable practices like Truth Maintenance, The Planned Freak-Out, and The Fear-Less Equation to help you sift through years of pretending and perfecting to unearth the strength in who you were all along.

“Behind every person fighting against their Self is really a person who yearns to want their Self,” says Horwitch. “And that is a journey worth going on.” Want Your Self is the blueprint for that journey—a pragmatic and proactive alternative to the toxic positivity that keeps us disconnected from ourselves and each other.

Critic Reviews

“Katie is like that enthusiastic, vulnerable, caring friend who gently urges you to be your best self, believing in you through your own skepticism. If you struggle with truly belonging—to yourself—read this book. Katie understands more than you can imagine.” —Karen Walrond, author of The Lightmaker’s Manifesto and Radiant Rebellion

“Katie Horwitch is the queen of self empowerment. In this beautiful book, she distills her powerful and unique wisdom into tangible takeaways that will help readers overcome roadblocks, old messaging, and anything else standing between them and a life that feels amazing. It's like having a really, really wise big sister you can carry around with you all the time—highly recommend.” —Liz Moody, host of the Liz Moody Podcast and author of How To Build Your Best Life

Want Your Self simultaneously critiques the massive self-help industry and offers a creative, thoughtful approach to the personal transformation so many of us crave. Horwitch laces pointed (but never patronizing!) advice with memoir, illustrating how the seeds of revelation often reside in the mundane experiences of everyday life—from a pigeon nest in an LA parking structure to repotting a plant—if we open our eyes and hearts to experience them fully.” —Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, PhD, author of Fit Nation and premiere leader, intenSati
