I'm no good at sport ... I can't do maths... I really struggle with exams ... Sound familiar?

If you believe you can't do something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you really could get better at maths, or sport or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to?

You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young readers to find the confidence to realise their potential. The first children's book from Times journalist, two-time Olympian and best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed, it uses examples of successful people from Mozart to Serena Williams to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given, and that talent can be acquired. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, and, most importantly, a Growth Mindset, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything.

Practical, insightful and positive, this is the book to help children build resilience, embrace their mistakes and grow into successful, happy adults.

Also available: The You Are Awesome Journal. Whether setting out your goals, planning the best practice ever, keeping calm with breathing exercises or making paper aeroplanes to understand marginal gains, you'll love the brilliant activities in The You Are Awesome Journal - it's the perfect companion to You Are Awesome!

Rezensionen

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung | Besprechung von 28.11.2019

Mutmachbuch

Unglücklich, unsportlich, schlecht in Mathe, Angst vor Prüfungen. Das kennt so mancher. Doch wie wäre es, wenn man all das einfach mal hinter sich lässt und anfängt umzudenken? Mit Witz, Inspiration und einer gehörigen Portion Motivation zeigt dieses Buch Lesern von zehn Jahren an, wie es gehen könnte. "You are awesome" macht Mut, sich Ziele zu setzen und die eigenen Träume zu verwirklichen. Matthew Syed, selbst zweimaliger Olympia-Teilnehmer, erzählt dabei auch über seine eigenen Hürden. Mut machen zudem prominente Beispiele wie Steve Jobs, J. K. Rowling, Lionel Messi oder Beyoncé. So entsteht das Gefühl: Das kann ich auch schaffen! Der Knesebeck-Verlag hat uns drei Exemplare des Buchs im Wert von je 14 Euro zur Verfügung gestellt, die wir unter denjenigen verlosen, die uns bis heute um 18 Uhr eine E-Mail mit dem Betreff "Awesome" und ihrer Postanschrift schicken an [e-mail].
