Description
"I'm a big admirer of the fire in Shannon Watts. Now she shares with all of us how we, too, can ignite our power and change the world."
-Maria Shriver
"This book is a gift for any woman whose life has come to feel like a checklist of tedious responsibilities, rather than a bright, flaming torch of divine power. Shannon Watts uses her experience, wisdom, and fierce intuition to model a new way of living for women - one that is rich with meaning, deep with empathy, and, yes, full of transformative fire."
-Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
From the founder of Moms Demand Action, a guide to harnessing your potential, living without fear, and coming alive at any age.
Too many of us are living on autopilot. We believe we're too old, too busy, or too inexperienced to go after what we really want. Shannon Watts has a message for you: Think again. If you are ready to stand tall in your greatness, Fired Up invites you to shatter your self-imposed limitations and unleash your potential so you can finally start living the life you deserve.
Since starting Moms Demand Action, the nation's largest grassroots organization against gun violence, Watts has helped thousands of women step off the sidelines and into their power. What most women don't realize is that inside all of us is a spark waiting to be ignited. Your spark is the catalyst for your life's meaning and joy. When nurtured, it has the potential to transform not only your life, but the world.
Whether you want to stand up for yourself at work, launch the business you always dreamed of, or leave a toxic relationship and reclaim your confidence, Fired Up shows you how to identify, light, and feed the fire inside you. As Watts says, "That's not an indulgence-it's a requirement for living the most authentic life possible, without regrets."
