Stand Up For Your Life: Develop the Courage, Confidence and Character to Fulfill your Greatest Potential
by Cheryl Richardson
Free Press, 2002
hardcover, $24.00

Cheryl Richardson, author of “Take Time For Your Life,” returns with more of her values-centered program for creating the life you long to be living. This new book offers readers an opportunity to examine key issues related to hiding power and fulfilling potential. Richardson focuses on the necessity of turning inward to strengthen your relationship with yourself: knowing who you are, trusting your self and arranging the support you need. The book includes traditional fill-in-the-blank exercises and steps to follow; but there are also higher invitations, to consider yet other possibilities, that go well beyond.

“When you learn to stop hiding your power and use [your] fear to your advantage, you’ll become less attached to what others want for you and more attached to what you want for yourself. As this shift occurs, you’ll naturally begin to lead a more authentic and passionate life.”

-Cheryl Richardson
