“I can’t stand it, I know you planned it. I’m gonna set it straight, this Watergate…” Sorry, wrong meeting.

Emma Gannon’s Sabotage might not be as catchy as the Beastie Boys song but it’s still a good kick up the arse for anyone who needs it.

An exploration of self-sabotage, how to knock it off, and how to get out of your own way.

All good stuff!

Emma Gannon is a successful writer, coach and podcaster.

As an author and speaker she focuses on wellbeing, creativity, digital culture, and lifestyle design.

‘Sabotage: How to Get Out of Your Own Way’ is about self-sabotage.

In this book, Emma shares how she overcame her self-sabotaging tendencies by learning to manage stress, anxiety and perfectionism.

Although primarily a personal story, it will help you to overcome self-sabotage to create positive change in your life.

This short handbook is aimed at creative people who want to improve their lives but are struggling with the process.

Sabotage challenges readers to take a deep look at themselves and their lives.

The book contains plenty of insights into what causes us to sabotage ourselves and how we can overcome it.

It will help you understand why you do what you do, and how to stop doing it.

You’re encouraged to think about what you want to change and how you can go about making those changes.

It’s a helpful guide to overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals by working with what you’ve got.

The book is full of useful advice which will help anyone who feels like they’re stuck in a rut and can’t get out.

I’m a big fan of Emma Gannon’s non-fiction books, and Skillshare courses, which are generally full of great tips to help creative people live a more fulfilled life.

I love her positive attitude, her willingness to share her own experiences, and her enthusiasm for helping others.

I also love Emma Gannon’s writing style. She is so honest and open, it makes you want to be her best friend and tell her everything about yourself.

Sabotage is a quick and easy read. I’ve read it twice now, both times in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down.

This is the book I wish I had when I was younger. It’s a great read for anyone who struggles with self-sabotage and can help them to overcome their fears, beat perfectionism and take action on their goals.
