Publisher Description
The instant New York Times bestseller
‘Extraordinary’ – Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
Be weird. Be selfish. Be shameless. Be obsessed. Be nosy. Be manipulative. Be brutal. Be reckless. Be bossy.
Are you tired of playing it safe and waiting to thrive in your career? Jenny Wood, a former Google executive and founder of its groundbreaking Own Your Career program, understands that the biggest obstacle to your professional success isn’t a lack of talent – it’s a lack of courage.
In Wild Courage, she playfully reclaims nine traits from their negative shackles and teaches you how to apply them to supercharge your success, whether you’re trying to snag a promotion, launch a company or land a life-changing deal.
Full of actionable advice, Wild Courage coaches you to smash through your fear of discomfort, failure and the judgement of others, to embrace your boldest self in pursuit of your goals.
‘A fresh, fearless approach to achieving your goals. This book is both a guide and a cheerleader for anyone on a mission to make things happen’ – Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project
‘Will inspire you to stop seeking permission and to start taking action‘ – Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Subtitled ‘Go after what you want and get it’, this is a no-nonsense guide to, well, exactly that. Jenny Wood climbed the ladder at Google for two decades, so knows a thing or two about ambition. She also chased a handsome stranger off a train to give him her number and—spoiler!—they got married. So we like her style. Now a career coach, she urges us here to reframe character traits deemed negative (such as being selfish, reckless or bossy) in order to achieve our goals, while acknowledging this can be an uncomfortable process. A high five and a kick up the backside in literary form, this galvanising, revitalising read has a contagious enthusiasm. It’s one of those books that might just change the course of your life.
