About this listen

Only You Can Hurt Yourself: Overcome Self-Sabotage, Build Self-Confidence, Resilience, Inner Strength, and an Unbreakable Mindset. This book is not just a collection of principles, ideas or strategies; it is a deeply personal reflection of a journey—a journey that I know many of you are navigating, just as I once did.

As a young boy, I was small, shy and reserved, often feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of expressing myself properly and standing tall in a world that seemed too large. Those early years were marked by self-doubt, fear and an inner critic that felt louder than any voice around me. At times it was frightening as it was overwhelming. But over time, through self-discovery, faith and deliberate effort, I began to see that the power to shape my life did not lie in the hands of others. It was within me, waiting to be unlocked. I just needed to switch that button which you can too.

This realization became the foundation of a transformation—one that allowed me to overcome self-sabotage, rebuild my confidence and discover resilience as well as inner strength I never imagined possible and I felt liberated. I wrote this book to share not only my story but the tools and lessons I’ve learned along the way. My hope is that they will resonate with you and empower you to take charge of your own journey. The path to a life of self-worth, resilience and confidence isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it. The truth is, the greatest obstacles often come from within. When you learn to conquer your mind, you’ll find that you can overcome anything. This book is an invitation to take control not just of your thoughts but of your destiny.

Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or looking for that next breakthrough, remember this: Only You Can Hurt Yourself, but only you can heal and empower yourself as well. I am honoured to walk this path with you through this book. Let us begin the transformation process together.
