Publisher's Summary

Too short. Too weird. Too quiet. Not true. Let internet superstar Jeffrey Marsh help you end those negative thoughts and discover how wonderful you are.

An interactive experience, How to Be You invites you to make the audiobook your own through activities such as answering questions about how you do the things you do, and discovering patterns in your lives that may be holding you back. Through Jeffrey's own story of "growing up fabulous in a small farming town" - along with the stories of hero/ines who have transcended the stereotypes of race, age, and gender - you will discover that you are not alone. 

Learn to deepen your relationship with yourself, boost your self-esteem and self-worth, and find the courage to take a leap that will change your life.

What the critics say

“The advice Jeffrey gives is so succinct and so intimately personal that I swear, if your brain could change colors in reaction to humans, Jeffrey's words would turn your brain bright pink." (Bustle)

 “Their message is simple: Be yourself. Be happy with yourself. Be more comfortable with your differences - and embrace and enjoy them.” (Digg)

Jeffrey is amazing

I will listen to anything Jeffrey has to say. They have this amazing ability to reach your soul when they speak. I recommend this book for anyone who is struggling to be themselves and who wants to treat themselves (and others) with kindness.

Highly Recommend

I will be recommending this book to anyone who asks, and probably a couple of people who don't. The content is very accessible and the author has a good canter and compassion in their reading of the book.

As someone who accesses professional mental health services this book to be a great addition. Will be re-listening to this book every few months for the affirmations. Thank you Jeffrey ❤️

Enjoyable, light, and uplifting

I follow Jeffrey on social media, and I love their message. This book was in the same vein, and to my delight, the audio book was narrated by Jeffrey themselves. It's a very Buddhist and love-centered philosophy -- nothing new or groundbreaking, but a gentle urge to take care of ourselves and reach out in love.

I needed this and didn't even know it.

I needed to hear this message for myself. I started this to help me be a better a parent. Little did I know how big of a message this had for me as well as my parenting.
Thank you!
