UNDERESTIMATED The Surprisingly Simple Shift to Quit Playing Small, Name the Fear, and Move Forward

Podcast host and life coach Mary Marantz narrates her exceptional guide in a tone that fits the diligent research and personal introspection that make it so helpful. Sounding at once humble and confident, her vocal character inspires openness to her thinking about how creative people can become productive and fulfilled. She surveys fascinating research on how achievement is helped and thwarted by our attitudes, needs, inner standards, and self-worth. Turning often to the image of Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the mountain, she shows how internalized fear can manifest in negative feelings about ourselves and a variety of self-defeating strategies and habits. Her ideas and the warm intelligence conveyed by her narration make this one of the most accessible career and productivity audiobooks available today.
