I have Everything under Control – And that's the Problem

  • No. 1 bestselling author: 15 weeks on the SPIEGEL bestseller list.
  • Mimi Lawrence writes about the invisible pressure, the mental load, the quiet anger - and about what happens when women stop trying to please everyone.

I function. I take care of things. I hold everything together. And slowly, I am losing myself in the process.

Mimi Lawrence understands the conflict women feel between their careers, families, and social pressures as they try to please everyone. In her inspiring guide, she encourages women to move from self-sacrifice to self-acceptance. Perfect for anyone who wants to blossom rather than bend!

This book is not a self-help guide with to-do lists. It is the permission you never gave yourself: You are allowed to stop. You are allowed to be angry. You are allowed to think of yourself. A brave book about self-loss and self-assertion. For all women who no longer want to merely function, but want to live again.

"You know who you are. You know what you want. And you don't have to compromise your true self anymore!"
