"TRUST YOURSELF: Stop Overthinking, Master Your Emotions, and Channel Your Ambition for Success Career coach Melody Wilding has worked with hundreds of ambitious women and noticed something she calls an "Honor Roll Hangover": her clients are all former high-achieving students whose desire to conform to others' definitions of success followed them from school into the work world. They also consistently report feeling highly sensitive and easily overstimulated. Most of all, they tend to overthink EVERYTHING. Her clients' sensitive qualities-being highly attuned to their emotions, the environment, and the behavior of others-also make them susceptible to the stress that is a byproduct of their ambition. Typical workplace situations like getting negative feedback, giving a presentation, or dealing with difficult coworkers are more challenging than they are for people less sensitive. In Trust Yourself, Wilding identifies this problem and gives the nuanced reader profile a name-"Sensitive Strivers." And drawingon the latest research in behavioral psychology and neuroscience, she shows readers how to take control of their lives and redirect their sensitivity and drive as strengths"--
