What Is Shame and How Can We Break Its Hold?
The go-to guide to understand and unpack shame: what it is, why we feel it, and how to undo the lies it tells us about ourselves.
Are you ready to get Discomfortable?
This is a book about shame: what it is, why we have it, and how we can break its hold on our happiness. We all know shame: it’s that feeling that tells us that somehow, who we are is inherently wrong. It’s more than embarrassment or regret: it shakes us to the core. And most of all, it tells us that we need to be, feel, and act differently in order to be seen, loved, and accepted.
Author and “shame-ed” coach AJ Bond takes us through his own shame breakthrough, sharing how he went from I’d rather die than be gay to uncovering and reclaiming his inherent wholeness and worth. With unexpected humor, warmth, and candid personal stories, Bond shows readers:
Why shame shows up–the trauma, fixed mindsets, and messaging that give it a foothold
How shame tricks you into believing there’s something wrong with you, even when you’re perfectly right
The evolutionary reasons we humans developed a sense of shame (and why it doesn’t serve us today)
How to manage and deprogram shame through connection, gratitude, and empowered choice
How we can re-parent ourselves, be fully seen, and feel fully loved
Bond shines a light on this feeling that doesn’t want to be seen, heard, or named–and invites us to bring our own shame into the open and release it to reclaim and reframe our lives in a powerful new way.
UBIQUITOUS, RELEVANT TOPIC: Shame is everywhere, everyone has it–and no one wants to talk about it. This book shines a light on shame, giving readers a name for the uncomfortable, soul-crushing feeling they may not understand but that they know is making them miserable.
PRIORITY TITLE, EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGN: This book will receive a big marketing campaign, with video content, social media, advertising, and top-line publicity treatment.
COMMUNITY RELEVANCE: Everyone has shame, but it’s most acutely felt by people who have been otherized, disenfranchised, or told by their communities that the way they are isn’t ok. This book has particular resonance within the LGBTQIA+ community and members of historically oppressed groups.
