Show Up and Shimmy
A deeply human narrative of healing, sobriety, and achievement in the face of adversity
In Show Up and Shimmy: Discover Your Worth, Recognise Your Potential, and Lead the Life You Deserve, certified motivational speaker Bruce Brackett delivers a stirring narrative that reminds us of what we’re worth, the value we bring to the world, and our unique ability to engage with the people we care about. The book combines the straightforward, effective affirmations Brackett is known for with an unflinching and realistic look at the challenges he’s faced throughout his life – and how he meets them head-on every day.
Show Up and Shimmy offers simple, grounded slogans that remind you to focus on the positive and “Keep Moving Forward,” even when life seems intent on doing everything it can to stop you. It offers a compelling argument for the idea that – regardless of how difficult or intimidating your circumstances are right now – there is a way forward, it is achievable, and you are worth every bit of the effort it will take.
Inside the book:
- Inspiring and true details about the author’s successful journey to sobriety and how he negotiated the difficult path back from the brink of serious alcohol and methamphetamine abuse
- Effective strategies for dealing with major obstacles and life events, including death, loss, and grief
- An original and persuasive discussion about the universal human capacities for recovery, transformation, healing, and achievement
Perfect for everyone doing their best to meet the world as it is, Positivity contains the tools, stories, strategies, and inspiration you need to show up as your best self every single day.
