The Joy of Being Selfish
Why You Need Boundaries and How to Set Them
Summary
Do you frequently say 'yes' to people and events to keep those around you happy? Do you often find yourself emotionally exhausted and physically drained? Do people describe you as a pushover or 'too nice'? It's time to discover the joy of being selfish and reclaim your life through the art of boundaries!
With The Joy of Being Selfish: Why You Need Boundaries and How to Set Them (Welbeck Publishing, 2021), life coach and influencer @scarrednotscared Michelle Elman is here to teach you the practical side of self-love. Creating and upholding strong boundaries will teach others how to treat you, rid your life of drama and toxic relationships and allow you to love yourself and others in the best way you can.
Michelle Elman is a five-board accredited life coach, host of the podcast “In All Honesty,” and author of the book Am I Ugly?, which was named a “top read” by Cosmopolitan. Best known for her campaign Scarred Not Scared, she was named one of The Sun’s 50 most inspirational women in the UK. She has appeared on BBC Radio, Fox News, and the Today Show, and has been featured in Women’s Health, People, Teen Vogue, MTV, Buzzfeed, and the Huffington Post. A prolific public speaker whose TedX talk has been viewed more than 60,000 times, she holds a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and lives in London.
