MAYBE IT'S YOU

A no-nonsense, practical manual to help readers figure out not just what they want out of life, but how to get there.

Let’s admit it; life is tough. And the things you really want in life often seem impossibly far out of reach. But what if you stopped blaming others (i.e. your boss, your mother, your boss’s mother, etc.) for what’s holding you back and took a close, unfiltered look at the real root of the problem: YOU. Life coach Lauren Handel Zander has one thing to say: MAYBE IT’S YOU: Cut the Crap. Face Your Fears. Love Your Life. With a foreword by Handel Method evangelist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman, MAYBE IT’S YOU illuminates Zander’s honest, no-nonsense, funny, and proven approach, teaching you how to rewire your life by facing your fears, saying yes to even the most difficult-seeming challenges, and simply saying “f*ck that” (a technical term, of course) to quitting. More than 15 years ago, Zander created a groundbreaking, results-oriented approach to designing your life called The Handel Method. With an emphasis on honesty, accepting flaws and developing your own tools to short circuit them, Zander and her team have employed her step-by-step plan to successfully guide tens of thousands of people—including authors, entrepreneurs, corporate clients, and Ivy League university students—to lead more fulfilling and daring lives. She requires commitment, time, and a sense of humor from her clients, but promises in return to provide practical no-nonsense solutions to help build a better you. The stories her clients tell in this book are remarkable—from the woman who finally curbed an out-of-control shopping addiction using Zander’s tools, to the successful businesswoman who followed the method to finally find the love of her life, to the movie producer who Zander helped to lose more than 80 pounds (after every other program had failed). With MAYBE IT’S YOU, Zander has revolutionized the concept of traditional “self-help” through the idea of radical personal accountability, taking a deep-dive look at the patterns and history that are really holding you back. Whether readers want to find love, succeed at work, fix a fractured relationship, or get healthy, MAYBE IT’S YOU will offer a road map to finally get them there.
