‘A fabulous handbook for building self-confidence, both at home and at work.’ Sara Davies, TV presenter and entrepreneur
'These irresistible nuggets of wisdom are inspiring and reassuring in their simplicity.' Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room
Discover the bestselling personal development guide designed to help you feel confident, exude calm, establish boundaries, and live an easier, more self-determined life.
Often, just one line can turn a difficult situation around or stop trouble in its tracks:
- I decide who pushes my buttons.
- I'll forgive myself right now.
- I’m sorry if I gave you the impression you could talk to me like that.
- I understand you completely, and I would like something else.
- This isn't against you, it's for me.
Drawing on more than two decades’ experience as a leadership and life coach, Karin Kuschik demonstrates how a well-chosen sentence can provide much-needed clarity, offering up an effective solution even in the heat of the moment.
Combining entertaining storytelling with practical tips and examples, Karin shows how purposeful words can have a freeing effect, how they make us strong, calm and confident, ready to win respect, meet challenges and take control.
Whether you’re searching for the right words to resolve a situation at work or at home, this toolkit of small but mighty sentences will empower you to stay calm, gain respect and take control of whatever life throws at you.
‘This book delivers smart, concise mantras to navigate life’s toughest moments. Each one is simple, powerful, and ready to apply to your daily challenges. Unlock the tools to stay calm, focused, and consistent with your goals. Life could be so easy.’ Rolf Dobelli, author of The Art of Thinking Clearly
'Normally I'm allergic to self-help books but there's something very bracing in Kuschik's insistence on authenticity - avoiding white lies that only stress us out and fog our minds.' The Times
'This book is absolutely fascinating! Karin tells some amazing stories to help us get to the point and to actually use these sentences. That's what I love about it' BBC Radio Wales

READERS LOVE 50 SENTENCES THAT MAKE LIFE EASIER
“Consciously deciding how I deal with my thoughts and emotions has fundamentally changed—and eased—my life.” – Alexandra
“'I think this issue is yours’ helped me again yesterday. I would’ve been offended in the past. Now I just say it and I was able to leave the situation gracefully.” – Jasmin
“I work as a nurse in a hospital and recently had an unpleasant moment with a patient. The sentence ‘I decide who pushes my buttons´ popped into my head. I just said it out loud. Everyone looked stunned—and then we all laughed. It felt really good.” – Angie
“I used to be unable to express my needs without feeling guilty. Now I often say: ‘This isn’t against you. It’s for me.’ That takes the sting out of many situations and helps me stay centered.” – Dani
“I’m getting better and better at setting clear and confident boundaries.” – Caro
“Recently I went to a family gathering with my boyfriend. When my homophobic uncle started up again, I said: ‘I’m sorry if I gave you the impression you could talk to me like that.’ For the first time ever, he went silent. All evening long. What a relief!” – Robert
“Last week I got an email calling me a horrible person. I replied with a heartfelt ‘Speedy recovery´—and received multiple apologies in return. That just shows how powerful Karin’s sentences are and how important a shift in attitude can be. I’m a huge fan!” – Sylke
