So what's in the book that Publishers Weekly
0:02
called a galvanizing and motivating
0:05
debut? What's in the
0:07
book that Mel Robbins says is a
0:09
playbook for teaching you how to interrupt
0:12
internalized age-old messaging? A book that
0:14
she says you should not put
0:16
down. Maybe a little ironically, I
0:18
actually want to read you a little bit from the
0:20
end of the book rather than the beginning. Here's
0:23
what the end of the book says. Throughout
0:26
this book, you've learned that the personal
0:28
is political in so many ways. The
0:31
systems that structure our society teach us
0:33
what and how to think about ourselves.
0:35
And those thoughts not only create our own
0:38
emotional experiences, but how we show up to
0:40
live our lives and impact the world. You
0:43
might be a stay-at-home mom on
0:45
a farmstead or the polyglot CEO
0:47
of a multinational corporation. Whoever you are,
0:50
however you live, you
0:52
have unrealized brilliance, unexplored
0:54
potential, undeveloped gifts, all
0:57
of which you can unleash by changing
0:59
the way you think. Our
1:01
unequal and unjust society depends
1:03
on you staying small, but
1:06
your liberation and the world's progress depends
1:09
on you closing your brain
1:11
gap and learning how to
1:13
take up space. I
1:15
don't want you to use my work to become someone else.
1:18
My deepest wish for you is that you use
1:20
the tools you've learned in this book to
1:22
become more of who you already are. Because
1:25
who you already are is already
1:27
enough. And when women
1:29
believe they are enough, that's when
1:31
they go out and change the world. I
1:34
wrote this book to be a
1:37
clarion call for the feminist mindset
1:39
revolution. But that's a revolution that
1:41
starts within each one of us. Each
1:45
one of us has to liberate
1:47
ourselves from the inside out. And
1:49
we have to teach ourselves how to do that. My
1:52
book is here to teach you, but
1:54
we have to help ourselves. Self-help is
1:56
a radical act for women. We
1:58
can't depend on the institutions and society
2:01
to help us, to save us,
2:03
we have to save ourselves. Even
2:06
mainstream coaching and psychology were
2:08
mostly created by straight cis
2:11
white christian men who
2:13
don't know shit about how society
2:15
impacts a woman's brain. If
2:18
you've been socialized as a woman, you have
2:20
been taught to think so many
2:22
specific thoughts about yourself that oppress
2:24
you from the inside, and the
2:27
worst part is that they sound
2:29
like your voice. Because
2:31
our brains have been impacted,
2:34
have been colonized, have been taken over
2:36
by these ways of thinking. The
2:39
good news is that that's not all this in our
2:41
brain, because we're also in there.
2:44
Our true selves, our true hopes, our
2:46
true desires and dreams and talents and
2:48
passion and power, all of that is
2:50
in there too. And we
2:53
have to learn how to tap
2:55
into those parts of ourselves and
2:57
to rewrite all the limiting messages
2:59
and beliefs that we've been taught so
3:01
that we can show up and live our
3:03
own lives in a different way. And if
3:06
every woman in the world did that,
3:08
the entire world would change. My
3:11
book, Take Back Your Brain, will
3:13
teach you how to do that.
3:15
It is a one-stop shop for
3:17
mental liberation. It is a step-by-step
3:20
manual to creating a set of
3:22
beliefs and a brain that is
3:24
on your side, that has your
3:26
back, that will take you where
3:28
you want to go. I promise you that as
3:30
soon as you pick it up, you are not going to want to put it
3:32
down. And if you do what this book
3:34
teaches you, your life will never be the
3:36
same. It's available at unsookyourbrain.com

And when you're prompted for the code word, the code
3:50
word is, it's, you can
3:52
go, yes.
