Advance praise for Playing Big
-At last. At last this very important book has been written,
encouraging women to take up all the creative space they deserve in
the world. I hope it will empower legions of women to step into
their greatness. I couldn't be happier about this publication.-
--Elizabeth Gilbert
-Tara and I share the same philosophy: we hope inspirational ideas
will ignite you to go out and make an impact in your own life.
Whether she's writing for mariashriver.com or urging others to
become a change agent through her book, Tara is practicing the
Playing Big words she preaches.-
--Maria Shriver
-Tara Mohr offers a new model of leadership, one that acknowledges
and embraces the complex realities of women's lives. She shows us
how to take the leap, even when we don't feel ready. Playing Big is
the perfect catalyst for any woman who wants to go outside her
comfort zone, find her voice, and embrace the biggest possibilities
of her life.-
--Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct
-While reading Playing Big I kept thinking of the many people I
knew (men too!) who would love it. With clarity, warmth and deep
wisdom, Tara shines a light on our blocks to manifesting our
potential, and offers practical, well-honed strategies that move us
toward fulfillment. This is a book that can transform the
trajectory of your life.-
--Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge
-Tara Mohr shows us how to replace self-doubt, inadequacy, and
worry with confidence, self-worth, and courage. She is a brilliant
writer and teacher whose warmth and passion fill these pages. Full
of examples and practical tools, this is a gem of a book.-
--Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain
Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence
-Don't try to change the world before you read this book! In
Playing Big Tara Mohr offers you the keys to unlocking your gifts,
your potential and your power to make a difference. I guarantee
that you will find yourself and your dreams somewhere in this book
and when you do Tara's deep insights, her practical action steps
and her real life stories will set you free.-
--Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My
Grandfather's Blessings
-Luminous, deep, and practical. I've asked every woman in my
all-woman company to put Playing Big first on their reading list.
We want to make a difference in the world, we want to live full-on,
and we know that our passion is powerful. We need this! Playing Big
is like a torch that shows you where assumptions you've been
holding could be holding you back -- even if you think you're using
your power to the fullest.-
--Danielle LaPorte, author of The Desire Map and The Fire Starter
Sessions
-For anyone who's afraid they don't have what it takes to live a
bigger life, Playing Big shows you unquestionably do.
Thought-provoking coaching and exercises help us access our
existing inner resources by grounding us in reality and possibility
instead of fear. Mohr's goal is not about getting the next
promotion (although that may come too) but something much more
lasting and limitless: true empowerment from the inside, and the
capacity to change the world.-
--Patty Chang Anker, author of Some Nerve
-When I was at a critical career juncture, I took Tara's online
leadership course and it was transformative. After just three
sessions, I had decided to quit my current job, start my own
consulting practice, and follow my passion around developing
leadership for large-scale social impact. While I'd already had
some success, Tara's work was instrumental in helping me find my
own inner calling, unhook from other's expectations, and start
playing really big. Her book captures the key lessons of the course
in a compelling format, and is sure to help countless women and
social entrepreneurs achieve even greater impact in the world.-
--Heather McLeod Grant, coauthor of Forces for Good
-This is the how-to manual we've been waiting for. Tara cuts
through our playing small strategies with every brilliant word and
liberating idea. This book will be passed from friend to friend,
given as a graduation gift, and lauded in women's lists of 'books
that changed my life.' May this powerful book help us create a more
just and happy world.-
--Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book and The
Woman's Retreat Book
-If you've ever struggled (as I have!) with feeling like you have
so much more to offer the world yet are unsure of the next step,
Playing Big will give you the road map. Chapter after chapter I
felt Tara was speaking directly to my soul... there's not a trick
for hiding and playing small that she misses. Tara's tools will
help you excavate your voice, clarify your mission & message, and
fuel yourself renewably from the inside out. Playing Big is a must
read for every woman with a dream.-
--Manisha Thakor, CEO of MoneyZen Wealth Management
-There's nothing small about Tara Mohr's Playing Big. Deeply
insightful, well-researched, and action-packed, Playing Big is
destined to become a part of the canon on women's leadership, right
alongside Sheryl Sandberg, Brene Brown and Arianna Huffington.-
--Whitney Johnson, author of Dare, Dream, Do
-Playing Big enables the modern day woman at ANY age to face her
career and life with a sense of curiosity and confidence rather
than fear and regret.-
--Sarah Brokaw, author of Fortytude
-I have been searching for a book to recommend that will solve the
epidemic in women of thinking they're not enough. Playing Big is
that book. It's an answered prayer for me and women all over the
world. Smart, practical, profound, and heart centered--Tara Mohr
nailed it-
--Kate Northrup, author of Money: A Love Story
-Tara has her finger on the pulse of what holds too many women
back--and, even better, she's got concrete tools to help us face
the fears that keep us from seizing our potential. If you're ready
to look inside and claim your power and potential, this is the book
to read, and the partner to work with.-
--Rachel Simmons, author of The Curse of the Good Girl
-I have seen hundreds of women with big dreams get stuck behind
wall of fear just as they are about to create something great.
Playing Big holds the key to gently and firmly pushing down the
wall so that no woman is held from her rightful destiny.-
--Pamela Slim, author of Body of Work
