Sovereign: Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy, and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty, and Chaos by Emma Seppala (4/23/24)

The acclaimed author of The Happiness Track maps a radically fresh, science-backed path to break the bonds of self-destructive patterns and beliefs and live a fuller, more authentic life.

In the post-pandemic era of war, polarization, and economic and environmental challenges, is it any wonder that we’re questioning a lot of things we thought we knew? We’re ready to reevaluate what’s important and rethink how we are living our lives. We need a new perspective—and Emma Seppälä offers one.

Unlike many self-help books that simply repackage well-worn concepts, Sovereign delivers a radically new and enlightening message, made for this age of suffering and confusion. It’s a manifesto that awakens us to all the areas in our life where we have subjugated ourselves to self-destructive beliefs and tendencies. And it’s a roadmap to reclaim our full psychological sovereignty so we can live free, happy, and authentic lives.

Seppälä’s voice is raw and honest, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply reflective, delving into topics ranging from the nature of self-loathing to the nuances of relationship as she shows us how to unbind ourselves in every area:

• In our working life and our family life
• In our physical health and our emotional well-being
• In our minds, our spirits, and our connection to our very selves
