You Are Who You Think You Are

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances—but what you believe about yourself?

In Who Do You Think You Are?, author and mindset coach China Watson delivers an uplifting, empowering self-help book that challenges readers to rethink their inner dialogue and redefine what success truly means. Through relatable stories, affirmations, and reflective exercises, this book shows how mindset shapes identity—and how changing your thoughts can change your life.

Each chapter introduces a mini-story inspired by real-life experiences, featuring characters from different backgrounds who face doubt, fear, health challenges, career setbacks, and personal crossroads. From Horace, a devoted father struggling with self-belief, to August, a resilient teenage mother rising above adversity, these stories highlight the power of resilience, positive thinking, and community support.

Designed as a quick, engaging read, every chapter begins and ends with a thought-provoking quote, includes practical lessons, affirmations to rewire limiting beliefs, and reflection spaces that invite readers to pause, journal, and apply what they’ve learned in real time.

More than motivation, this book offers a mindset reset—reminding readers that success is not only measured by money or status, but by peace, confidence, health, happiness, and meaningful relationships.

In this book, you’ll discover how to:

● Break free from self-doubt and limiting beliefs
● Build confidence through intentional mindset shifts
● Use affirmations to reframe negative thinking
● Turn challenges into opportunities for growth
● Define success on your own terms
● Cultivate resilience, self-worth, and inner peace

Who Do You Think You Are? is written for anyone who has ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or questioned their worth. It’s a reminder that you already have everything you need to succeed—and that who you believe you are determines who you become.

If you’re ready to embrace your authentic self, shift your mindset, and step into your full potential, this book will meet you right where you are and guide you forward.

You are who you THINK you are. Choose wisely—and boldly.

The New Life Blueprint

@RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #TheNewLifeBlueprint #NataliaPeart #Nonfiction

A 21st-Century Guide for Success, Health, Wealth, and Happiness in a Complex World

Motivational Self-Help

Date Published: January 14, 2025

Publisher: Forbes Books

2025 Global Book Awards Silver Medalist in Self Help Success

Life is coming at us fast. It’s easier with a guide for life navigation.

The world has changed more in the last few years than in the previous fifty, rendering our traditional blueprints for life, work, and success outdated. Strategies that once promised a clear path to the American Dream, like pursuing a conventional education or climbing the company ladder, no longer guarantee continual progress toward our goals. Many of us find ourselves unprepared and uncertain, struggling to adapt to the accelerating pace of change. In this new era, the questions arise: what are the key drivers of success and sustainability? How can we navigate this complex world effectively?

The New Life Blueprint: A 21st Century Guide to Success, Health, Wealth, and Happiness in a Complex World by best-selling author Dr. Natalia Peart, with Christopher Burge, offers an insightful approach to navigating life more holistically and sustainably in our rapidly changing world.

Traditionally, success was a straightforward formula: get a degree, land a job, work hard, and enjoy the rewards. In The New Life Blueprint, Peart and Burge first examine the historical, contextual, and personal shifts that have made this old blueprint outdated. They make the case compellingly that this blueprint, which currently guides our educational, career, and life choices, was designed for a simpler, more predictable era but no longer applies in our new, more complex era.

They respond to this challenge by reinventing the old blueprint into a modern-era career, mental, financial, and lifestyle blueprint. Their new roadmap provides readers with the instructions and guidance they need to equip and prepare themselves to navigate their professional and personal lives, build resilience in constant uncertainty, and achieve the sustainable success, health, wealth, and happiness they seek.

Drawing on 14 disciplines, including neuroscience, economics, and performance psychology, as well as decades of experience as a psychologist, CEO, leadership and performance consultant, and Wall Street executive, the authors bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.

This book is not just about survival; it’s about flourishing in a world where change is the only constant. The New Life Blueprint not only captures the urgency and necessity for a redefined approach to living in a complex world but also provides a hopeful vision for thriving with confidence and clarity.

The Paramount Code

Published on December 8, 2025December 8, 2025 by mariacatalinaeganLeave a comment

Business, Self-Help, Non-Fiction

Date Published: December 8, 2025

What if the real code to success isn’t about working harder, but about mastering who you are when no one’s watching?

You’ve tried the scripts, the hustle, and the motivation videos. Yet something still feels missing, that spark of purpose, discipline, and integrity that separates the top 1% from everyone else. You’re not lazy; you’re just stuck in an old paradigm that no longer serves you.

The Paramount Code is not another motivational pep talk. It’s a complete system, a mindset-driven framework that rewires how you think, act, and lead. Rooted in the four timeless pillars of Integrity, Character, Honesty, and Professionalism. This book fuses the psychology of performance with proven field tactics from the real world of sales and leadership. The result? A clear, ethical, and repeatable code for excellence.

Imagine walking into every opportunity with calm confidence, knowing exactly how to handle objections, lead your team, and stay grounded under pressure. Imagine a workday fueled by focus and discipline, not chaos and burnout.

Inside the book, you will discover:

* The hidden “code” that silently determines your success or failure
* How to shift from old habits of self-sabotage to a growth-oriented mindset
* The real meaning of integrity and how it becomes your most powerful sales tool.
* The secrets to mastering canvassing, follow-ups, and closing with authenticity.
* How to lead and retain high-performing teams while avoiding the turnover trap.
* Practical checklists and behavioral maps that make success measurable.
* A field-tested paradigm for lasting motivation and mental toughness

Unlike theory-heavy business books, The Paramount Code is designed for action. Each chapter translates principles into simple, repeatable steps, making it feel like having a personal coach guiding you through change.

Think you’ve read all the success books before? Think again. This one doesn’t just inspire you, it equips you.

Success doesn’t wait and neither do the people who seize it. The rules are changing fast, and those who live by The Paramount Code are already rewriting the game.

If you’re serious about growth, this is your moment. Tomorrow, someone else will take the opportunity you hesitated on.
