About this listen
Who are you? As a young adult, you struggle with lots of issues - finishing school, finding a career, finding a partner, and most importantly, figuring out who you are. That can be overwhelming, especially when you feel like the people all around you have it all figured out.
Become your best self. Figuring out how to make friends, develop relationships, and be confident is a step-by-step process. Now help is available in Embracing the Awkward, written by the popular teen-advice YouTuber, The Josh Speaks. This isn't another dry instructional book written by a boring adult disconnected from the millennial reality; it's a guide, a workbook, an empowering step towards trying things out, discovering who you are, and becoming your best self.
Embracing the Awkward gives you ideas for developing your own unique style of speaking and engaging with others.
Learn how to: approach people; lead into conversations with groups; make strong friendships in school; approach your crushes and ask them out; deal with failure and rejection; and maintain family relationships.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
While literacy is taken for granted in modern society, there’s another essential aspect of communication that is often overlooked: social intelligence. Without it, our personal and professional relationships suffer shallowness and often fizzle out. Networking, romance, and friendships are all incredibly challenging without a healthy level of social awareness. Unlike learning to read, however, many of us don’t become socially “literate” until far later in life; and even then, the journey towards true social intelligence is usually characterized by trial and error.

Success in anything heavily relies on your confidence and self-esteem. Whether it’s getting the job or getting the girl/boy, whether it’s closing the deal or winning over the in-laws, your confidence is the thing that gets you through the door. So many of us struggle with low self-esteem and a timid spirit. We believe we’re not enough. We think we could never be brave “like him” or successful “like her”, so we slump our shoulders, slink off into the background, and throw pity parties for ourselves.
