International bestselling author of Own the Day, Own Your Life presents a battle-tested guide to the most important fight of your life: the one in you.
New York Times bestselling authorAubrey Marcus presents a battle-tested guide to the most important fight of your life: the one inside you.
Aubrey Marcus has spent decades studying the world's great wisdom traditions to answer one essential question: what is the force inside each of us keeping us from our Potential and how do we meet it? Part memoir, part modern mystical guide, part field manual for the soul, You vs Anti-You is his answer.
Marcus explains that we all carry a permanent inner opponent, a force he calls our 'Anti-You'. This force whispers at the moment we are about to grow, talks us out of our call to purpose and dresses itself in our own voice so we believe its lies and listen to its destructive calls. Marcus explains the only way through Anti-You is competition and that the resistance this fight creates is what forges us into who we are born to become.
You vs Anti-You sets out a framework and daily practices to help us recognise our Anti-You, engage it with skill and discover the Potential that lives on the other side of every fight. Built around 13 Essential Moves, each is paired with a training lesson called 'Into the Dojo' and a warning called 'Too Far' that can be implemented immediately and carried for life.
Bold, energising and a call-to-action, You vs Anti-You will arm you for the fight with your inner opponent and help you build a version of yourself you want - and were always meant to be.
