Claim Your Power, Change Your Life

Life is too short to live someone else’s idea of who you should be. The Power of Authenticity offers a revolutionary approach for leading a vital, authentic life. Dr. Michelle Millis Chappel, psychologist-turned-rock star and expert career coach, reveals practical tools used by thousands of her clients to show you how to thrive in your life and work. 

If you’re feeling stressed, stuck, or lost, you’re not alone. Most of us suffer from “Suppressed Superpower Syndrome.” You came into the world with a unique purpose and special gifts to fulfill it. But to fit in with others, you buried your extraordinary talents, forgetting who you truly are. Losing access to your whole self means losing your power. Here, you’ll get a proven step-by-step guide to take your power back.

Chappel draws on her Princeton PhD in cognitive psychology and years of experience as a successful coach and business consultant to help readers recover natural strengths and flourish in meaningful vocations and passion projects. Her groundbreaking self-empowerment guide combines psychological research, motivational music, Jungian shadow work, and popular superhero tales to stimulate both sides of the brain and reveal your latent gifts. The book shows you how to become the person you were born to be, offering practical exercises and creative projects to transform your own life.  

Learn how to:

  • tune out your inner critic and connect with your deep self
  • discover your greatest gifts and true creative potential
  • follow your calling in purposeful jobs and significant hobbies
  • create work you love by merging your talents in “mash-up professions”
  • develop hope and resilience to build a better future
  • …and much more.
The Power of Authenticity will change the way you view personal and professional success and give you the transformational tools you need to thrive in uncertain times—whether you are starting your career and looking for fulfilling work, burned out and eager to reinvent yourself, wishing for greater well-being in today’s turbulent world, or seeking more creative expression in your life.
