How to Be Selfish

7 steps to taking back your power

  • Suzy Reading




An unapologetic call to learn how to put yourself first, by psychologist Suzy Reading

in How to Be Selfish, Psychologist Suzy Reading aims to challenge everything we’ve misinterpreted about what 'self-care' actually is, and dispel the widely accepted myths about what it is to be 'selfish'.

Drawing on somatic therapy, neuroscience and psychology, alongside highly effective coaching tools and techniques, Suzy presents seven steps to guide the reader towards reclaiming their power. We can only become calmer, stronger, well-rested women by filling our own cup first. By learning to be selfish, will we have the energy to take care of others and also tend to our own needs and ambitions without depletion.

Understanding the true glory of being able to embrace 'selfishness' is our opportunity to break the cycle of stress and toxic productivity, disrupt patriarchal pressure and transform the way we live, love, work and parent.
