Publisher's Summary

Children's Book of the Year 2019.

Sunday Times number one best seller.

This positive and empowering guide by best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed will help boys and girls build resilience, fulfil their potential and become successful, happy, awesome adults.

I'm no good at sport.... I can't do maths.... I really struggle with exams.... Sound familiar?

If you believe you can't do something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you really could get better at maths, or sport or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to?

You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young listeners to find the confidence to realise their potential. The first children's book from Times journalist, two-time Olympian and best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed, it uses examples of successful people from Mozart to Serena Williams to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given and that talent can be acquired. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, and most importantly, a growth mindset, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything. 

Practical, insightful and positive, this is the book to help children build resilience, embrace their mistakes and grow into successful, happy adults.

Also available: Dare to Be You. Discover the power of diverse thinking in Matthew Syed's exciting new audiobook. Defy self-doubt, fearlessly follow your own path and be confidently you!

"An awesome book about becoming awesome. How inspiring it is to know that there's a path to awesomeness and that anyone - absolutely anyone - can go down that path. This book shows you how." (Carol Dweck, professor of psychology, Stanford University)

More than meets the eye

This is not a Kids book - this is a clear and concise roadmap to growth and success. I really enjoyed the book and appreciate the lessons.
