Summary
Children's Book of the Year 2019.
Sunday Times number one best seller.
This positive and empowering guide by best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed will help boys and girls build resilience, fulfil their potential and become successful, happy, awesome adults.
I'm no good at sport.... I can't do maths.... I really struggle with exams.... Sound familiar?
If you believe you can't do something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you really could get better at maths, or sport or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to?
You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young listeners to find the confidence to realise their potential. The first children's book from Times journalist, two-time Olympian and best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed, it uses examples of successful people from Mozart to Serena Williams to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given and that talent can be acquired. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, and most importantly, a growth mindset, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything.
Practical, insightful and positive, this is the book to help children build resilience, embrace their mistakes and grow into successful, happy adults.
Also available: Dare to Be You. Discover the power of diverse thinking in Matthew Syed's exciting new audiobook. Defy self-doubt, fearlessly follow your own path and be confidently you!
Critic reviews
"An awesome book about becoming awesome. How inspiring it is to know that there's a path to awesomeness and that anyone - absolutely anyone - can go down that path. This book shows you how." (Carol Dweck, professor of psychology, Stanford University)

Easy listening, great support with book
Bought for use with class, came away feeling uplifted myself. Practical advice and relatable anecdotal stories. Bite size mantras, which are easy to repeat to build up unconfident kids... and adults.

Awesome book!
Like Dermot's quote, I wish I'd had this book when I was young...
My bright 7-year-old loved it and so did I - the simple learnings of how to have a "growth mindset" and keep practicing the hard stuff are so massively important for kids to learn resilience and determination. And this is book is pitched just right to teach without patronising, and while entertaining.

Give it to any young person struggling with confid
It's mostly recycled and compressed material from "Black Box Thinking" and this is why its great - much easier to go through and understand for very defensive/vulnerable adults or younger people. Great story.

Great to help kids grow.
inspirational book for kids of around 8 upwards to recognise they can be and do what they want, if they try and keep going. important life lessons.
I played it to my kids via Alexa after lights out for 20 mins per night, they loved it and it settled them down too!
