Playing Big

Find Your Voice, Your Mission, Your Message

De: Tara Mohr

Narrado por: Tara Mohr

A groundbreaking women's leadership expert and popular conference speaker gives women the practical skills to voice and implement the changes they want to see - in themselves and in the world.

In her coaching and programs for women, Tara Mohr saw how women were "playing small" in their lives and careers, were frustrated by it, and wanted to "play bigger". She has devised a proven way for them to achieve their dreams by playing big from the inside out. Mohr's work helping women play bigger has earned acclaim from the likes of Maria Shriver and Jillian Michaels, and has been featured on the Today show, CNN, and a host of other media outlets.

Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In gave many women new awareness about what kinds of changes they need to make to become more successful; yet most women need help implementing them. In the tradition of Brené Brown's Daring Greatly, Playing Big provides real, practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, "unhook" from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive good girl habits, and begin taking bold action.

While not all women aspire to end up in the corner office, every woman aspires to something. Playing Big fills a major gap among women's career books; it isn't just for corporate women. The audiobook offers tools to help every woman play bigger - whether she's an executive, community volunteer, artist, or stay-at-home mom.

Thousands of women across the country have been transformed by Mohr's program, and now this book makes the ideas and practices available to everyone who is ready to play big.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"At last. At last this very important book has been written, encouraging women to take up all the creative space they deserve in the world. I hope it will empower legions of women to step into their greatness. I couldn't be happier about this publication." (Elizabeth Gilbert)

"Tara and I share the same philosophy: we hope inspirational ideas will ignite you to go out and make an impact in your own life. Whether she’s writing for mariashriver.com or urging others to become a change agent through her book, Tara is practicing the Playing Big words she preaches." (Maria Shriver)

"Tara Mohr offers a new model of leadership, one that acknowledges and embraces the complex realities of women's lives. She shows us how to take the leap, even when we don't feel ready. Playing Big is the perfect catalyst for any woman who wants to go outside her comfort zone, find her voice, and embrace the biggest possibilities of her life." (Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct)

Helped inspire me to make my biggest move yet

I love Tara Mohr and Playing Big! I listened to it twice and I'm sure I'll be going back for more to feed my brain and soul with all the wisdom. I listened to Playing Big and then to Keep It Real by Leslie Karen Hammond and I finally decided to live my purpose in a way that has always been scary to me. I wrote a book (in editing as I write this) and am becoming a public speaker! True, I'm used to being on stage as a performer, but speaking my truth to help others is totally different. I'll be Playing Bigger now thanks to Tara and Leslie. If you happen to be one of those people who doesn't like to "speak up", if that's your fear, check out "Keep It Real" after you listen to this one. It's not an audiobook, but it is available on Amazon... amazon...https://smile.amazon.com/Keep-Real-Afraid-Speak-About/dp/0983634424/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477396907&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=keep+it+real+leslie+karen+hammon

Great book and guide

This is exactly what I need right now! I am guilty of many of the "playing small" actions/habits. This book will allow me to consciously improve my habits. It allows me to pinpoint exactly where I need to take action!

Thank you Tara Mohr!

Stunningly beautiful, powerful, practical

What a gorgeous gem of a book. It is beautiful, powerful, and practical.

I've been recommending it to everyone, and buying copies for some women close to me. I hope we can get together and discuss how we're putting it to use.

I plan to revisit this every year. There's just so much to learn here.

Tara brings a wealth of tools & wisdom to women’s leadership

As a woman in a male dominated industry (tech), entrepreneur and coach I found the tools in here gave me so much perspective on the ways I’ve unconsciously held myself back with perfectionism and imposter syndrome.

Rich with learning opportunities!

I loved everything about this book and wished I would have been able to read it 25 years ago! Thank you!

Insightful and Empowering

Where does Playing Big rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best audiobook I have ever heard. It was so thoughtfully written and compassionately spoken aloud that I felt I was listening to a kind and wise old friend.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

Incredibly novel ideas that I could understand and implement immediately. I've already seen benefits in my life due to changes in my thinking inspired by this book. I've shared what I've learned with so many other women (and some men!) who are facing a myriad of challenges.

Have you listened to any of Tara Mohr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any of her other performances, but now I'll be looking out for her other books.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Playing Big?

There are so many, but the first one that comes to mind is the way I now react to that inner critic voice in my head. Instead of listening to it or getting mad at myself for having such negative thoughts in the first place, I have compassion for the voice. I say, "Hello friend. I must be on the verge of doing something very exciting because you're showing up and being a worry-wart. I know you just want to keep my safe. Thanks for the alert, but I'm okay and I've got this." It's worked wonders for me!

Any additional comments?

I want to give this book as a gift to every woman I know. Thank you Tara for having the courage to follow your gift and sharing your insights with the world. I am better for having listened to them!

Resonant

Great and necessary listen for all women. I feel like I've really got some great tools to help move past what has been holding me back from pursuing things in my life that I've allowed little space to even dream about.

Amazing insights

What did you love best about Playing Big?

Inner critic - not as something to 'fight' or keep down - but to acknowledge. Great skills throughout to practically apply!

A must read

There are few self help books that are actually as helpful as this one.. a game changer for my relationship with myself and my ambition.. This 10x more valuable than all my MBA leadership classes combined!

Life changing.

This is an incredibly powerful book that helps women in so many different areas of their lives. You have a purpose, a dream, a mission. You can create the life that fulfills you. This book shows you how. I know I’ll be listening to it again, buying the hard copy, and giving it away as gifts to important women in my life.
