Own Your Self: The Surprising Path Beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom, with Nancy Marriott
(Hay House 2019)
“One of the most refreshing aspects of a creative relationship is clear delineation of skills, expertise, and responsibilities. Nancy Marriott has a crystalline mind that is undaunted by the complexity of co-authorship, even in controversial content terrain. She held a vision Own Your Self that felt like a lighthouse in the dark, and she continued to orient me with the organizational clarity that she is uniquely capable of. Nancy is gifted in ways that render effortless aspects of book writing that would have left my book collecting dust as an early draft for years to come, and I would recommend her to anyone who has big, beautiful ideas, loves to write, but simply doesn’t know (or care to know!) the anatomy of the book writing process, its nuances, or ultimate editorial execution. I’m so grateful!”
