Speak Your Truth: The Sunday Times top ten bestseller

Product Information

Social conditioning does have a huge part to play in much of this but it is often strength of character that drives the ratio of nature vs nurture. On top of this I think everyone has at least three hats that they wear in life to protect themselves - myself probably ten but I’m not upset with that as those are the people that I need to be for those situations. They are the mostly made up of authentic parts of me, but how much easier would it be to be 100% true to myself all the time… but then what I would I leave to be with my closest and what social boundaries and etiquette would that cross? I quite like rules and structure… I know self help books aren't everyone's cup of tea but if you do like them I think Fearne's books are so so great to be honest. An enthusiastic cook, Fearne released her first cookbook in June 2016: Cook Happy, Cook Health. Her next book, Happy, talks about her own experiences of happiness (including some of the not-so-happy ones), and was published February 2017. Fearne's third book, Cook. Eat. Love, was published in June 2017. We hit the 2/3s mark that seems to be quite familiar in books from similar authors and figures in the last year - almost like the publisher has an agenda to fulfil and the author duly deliver a short chapter accordingly - the worthy moment when the author speaks up on behalf of causes that have no direct link to the context of the chapters, but it feels positively shoe-horned in (my autocorrect just changed that to show horned which is a very apt proffering given the circumstances!) maybe it’s to ensure entry to somewhere good? I feel mean as this was the most contextual out of all of the others that sprang to my mind but it was still noticeable… I don’t know - I completely support the ‘First they came…’ theory and I will read books about causes and issues on all things deemed as popular and unpopular, but I’m not completing a survey about what a great philosophical person the author is - I’m here to read the book with information gleaned from the title and summary - please don’t patronise the medium or the audience by adding your record of achievement political likes and dislikes

Fearne takes our hand and shows us how to be one by treading the wild, vulnerable path first.’Sarah Wilson, author of First, We Make the Beast Beautiful Fearne Cotton's voice is familiar to millions, whether that's through television, radio or on her hugely successful Happy Place podcast. Her voice is her career, her livelihood and the way she communicates with her audience and her loved ones. So, when Fearne's doctor told her she was at risk of needing a throat operation followed by two weeks of being unable to speak, she found herself facing a period of unexpected contemplation. On the flip side its also about celebrating individualality of all kinds without judgement. Allowing others to be their own unique self regardless of gender, race, sexual preferences or whatever else makes a person their own beautiful self. As she considered what silence would mean, Fearne began to think about other times her voice had gone unheard – as a young woman, as ‘just the talent’, as the foil to louder, more dominant figures. She found herself wondering, at what point do we internalise this message, and start silencing ourselves? When do we swallow down our authentic words to become pleasers and compromisers at the cost of our own happiness or wellbeing? Speak Your Truth dives into all the ways we learn to stay quiet for the wrong reasons, and explores how to find your voice, assert yourself and speak out with confidence. It's about learning to be your true self, listening and being honest with yourself to enable yourself to be happy. It's about finding out your truths and following your heart, believing in yourself when others may not and never allowing the negatives of others get you down. Knowing and being confident with who you are. 💖

Thanks so much for the invite, lovely. I can’t make it though because I’m taking Rex and a few of the lads from the class bowling for his birthday. I can’t be doing with this invite-the-whole-class-to-the-party thing anymore.’
