Wild Courage

Synopsis

The instant New York Times bestseller

‘Extraordinary’ – Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor

Be weird. Be selfish. Be shameless. Be obsessed. Be nosy. Be manipulative. Be brutal. Be reckless. Be bossy.


Are you tired of playing it safe and waiting to thrive in your career? Jenny Wood, a former Google executive and founder of its groundbreaking Own Your Career program, understands that the biggest obstacle to your professional success isn’t a lack of talent – it’s a lack of courage.

In Wild Courage, she playfully reclaims nine traits from their negative shackles and teaches you how to apply them to supercharge your success, whether you’re trying to snag a promotion, launch a company or land a life-changing deal.

Full of actionable advice, Wild Courage coaches you to smash through your fear of discomfort, failure and the judgement of others, to embrace your boldest self in pursuit of your goals.

‘A fresh, fearless approach to achieving your goals. This book is both a guide and a cheerleader for anyone on a mission to make things happen’ – Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project

‘Will inspire you to stop seeking permission and to start taking action‘ – Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive
