Own Your Greatness: 7 Principles To Overcome Tall Poppy Syndrome And Achieve Success

Fed-up with working a boring desk job at Australia's leading bank in Melbourne, author Mibenge Maria packed up her bags and left behind a comfortable life to pursue her dreams of becoming a journalist in New York City. After six years of "living the dream" (international junkets, movie set visits and celebrity interviews), one of the biggest cultural differences she observed was cultural attitudes towards success. Generally speaking, Americans make it a habit to encourage success while Australians have a tendency to suppress it. In this book: Own Your Greatness: 7 Principles To Overcome Tall Poppy Syndrome And Achieve Success, she explores the history of tall poppy syndrome, how it hinders society and common sense ways to finally break free from it to live your best life. She uses statistical evidence, academic research and celebrity interviews to inform and engage the reader. Included are seven principles that helped her end years of psychological conditioning, that once prevented her from achieving her true potential. Each principle is designed to help others discover their life purpose and find their inner confidence while explaining how she went from feeling unfulfilled in an entry-level job to living the life of her dreams in one of the best cities in the world. Simplicity and conformity no longer work in today's society. Most people want more out of life. More and more people are tapping into a new wave of consciousness and awareness and new ways of living and subsequently the Australian dream (in a traditional sense) has evolved. Most people want to progress and evolve. More people want to travel, live abroad, learn about new cultures, fight for equality, rescue animals, start businesses, freeze their eggs, protect the environment and even end world poverty. And in order for people to fulfill their dreams, they must learn how to honour their own skills and talents.
