'A powerful framework for navigating between belonging and self-expression with clarity and integrity' HERMINIA IBARRA, author of Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader

'Just be yourself'. It sounds so simple, doesn't it? But all too often, we find ourselves caught between trying to 'fit in' or 'stand out' - hiding our true thoughts for the sake of belonging, or over-acting just to get noticed. Both extremes leave us exhausted and disconnected.

In this paradigm-shifting book, behavioural scientist Patricia Hewlin reveals a better, more fulfilling way to navigate the pressures of our working lives. This is the middle self: a flexible framework for showing up with confidence, resilience and integrity no matter the situation. Drawing on decades of research, this break-through method will help you to make intentional choices, build stronger relationships and achieve your ambitions - while staying true to you.
