About this listen
This program is read by the author.
From the powerhouse Mind Body Green calls "the Brené Brown of Wonder" comes a self-help audiobook that will reframe the way we look at ourselves and the world and help us reach our full potential.
"Amber Rae's very personal journey of moving from a constructed identity of self limiting beliefs to her true self - in the domain of creativity, wonder, joy and higher consciousness - offers inspiring insights and lessons for anyone wanting to unfold their infinite potential." (Deepak Chopra)
"Amber Rae is the Elizabeth Gilbert of her generation." (Stacy London, New York Times best-selling author of The Truth About Style)
Wonder is what we’re born with. Worry is what we learn. Now is the time to return to wonder.
Why do we hold back from pursuing what matters most? Why do we listen to the voice inside our head that tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough? How can we move beyond the fear and doubt that prevents us from creating a life that reflects who we truly are?
Choose Wonder over Worry is your official invitation to face your fears, navigate your discomfort, and rewrite the "worry myths” in your mind that keep you from being your best and truest self. Journey with inspirational speaker and artist Amber Rae as she connects you with your voice of worry and wonder, teaches you to listen to your emotions rather than silence them, and encourages you to seize your dreams. Through a thoughtful blend of vulnerability, soulfulness, and science, Amber Rae guides you in expressing the fullness of who you are and the gifts you’re here to give. You don’t have to be held back by worry when wonder awaits you every moment of every day.
Worry or wonder: Which will you choose?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Story
Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

Overwhelmed. Do you wake up in the morning already feeling behind? Does the pressure of keeping it all together make you feel anxious and irritable? Tanya Dalton, CEO and productivity expert, offers you a liberating shift in perspective: Feeling overwhelmed isn't the result of having too much to do - it's from not knowing where to start. Doing less might seem counterintuitive, but doing less is more productive, because you’re concentrating on the work you actually want to be doing.

Relying on extensive research and interviews, and carefully examined personal experience, The Likeability Trap delivers an essential examination of the pressure put on women to be amiable at work, home, and in the public sphere, and explores the price women pay for internalizing those demands. Rather than advising listeners to make themselves likeable, Menendez empowers them to examine how they perceive themselves and others and explores how the concept of likeability is riddled with cultural biases.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Story
Success is not born out of skill, school, where we’re from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog. But we are born with something more important than skills. We’re born with optimism—the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you’ve got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it.

This book will light a fire in, under, and around you!
This book is a raw and real, yet loving invitation to live our highest selves. I recognized myself in the stories Amber told, and having the thought “oh, wow I’m not alone” which I wasn’t expecting in this sort of book—books like this can often just feel like an expert talking at you and feel unattainable. The relatable quality inspired me to make some important shifts in my world from the first day of listening. This book is one I’ll revisit again and again. Can’t wait to get my hard copy to work within!!

Inspirational
I’ve purchased both the audible and the hard copy of this book and it’s absolutely been life changing for me. Her candor and ability to connect has had me retuning to listen to the book 6 times in the last year and a half. I encourage everyone I know to listen to this book as there is something for everyone to learn or understand. Her ability to go deep and open up the raw truths that people are afraid of in a way that feels like you’re talking to your best friend (Amber Rae if you’re reading this I’m available for new amazing friends!) will continue to keep me coming back for more. Bravo Amber Rae, thank you for not dying with this gift inside.

Simply Amazing!
I have over a dozen audible books but this is the first one I have ever finished. This book feels like having a good and much needed conversation with a friend. I felt as if I was being heard even though I was the listener. I am inspired and motivated. There is a lot of reference to art (writing books and such) which is not my goal in life but everything she said I could easily translate to my own personal goals of being the type of Mom I strive to be and pursing my passions. I plan on listening to this book again, I am also going to buy the hard cover and share each topic with a group of teenagers I work with. Because this book is THAT good.

Loved every minute!
I listen to ALOT of audiobooks, I’ve probably listened to just about every self help & spiritual book to the point I think I was becoming more of a self help junky. I honestly don’t even know how I ended up following her on Instagram but then I seen she has a book so I became even more intrigued and of course had to get it. I have found value in every book I have ever read and I think every book is lessons the author learned from other books and of course experience which is what makes each book so special, and somehow every time it takes me deeper into myself and opens up parts of me that I didn’t know were shut down. She is honest, she is herself and she has a powerful lesson to teach in this book. Every story has been written, there’s a book on everything but you haven’t heard it from Amber Rae yet so take a chance on this book and see what this opens up in you.
