The Squashed Self: Understanding The Psychology Behind Self-Worth

Self-sabotage occurs when your logical, conscious mind is at odds with your subconscious mind. The latter is your anti-self -- that critical inner voice that seems to hold you back and sabotage your efforts.



Self-sabotage involves behaviors or thoughts that keep you away from what you desire most in life. It’s that internal sentiment gnawing at us, saying “you can’t do this.”



To stop self-sabotaging, this book will explain:

• What is the psychology behind self-worth draining people-pleasing and comparing?

• Enter Investigator Lewis and the stories of 8 small business owners. Then marvel at the way Professor P takes the investigator’s notes and reveals the drivers of the emotions that drive the behaviors.

• The stories are of everyday business life - from networking to marketing frustrations. By bringing the stories to life through character and dialogue, the author makes them eminently relatable.

• The recommendations and ‘crack your own case’ exercises are action-focused - step fear beating actions to achieve the success that has authentic you at the heart.

• This is not a ‘do it like this’ business book - it is a ‘self-awareness and ‘why’ answering book.

• A fun read for serious professional development.
