I'm no good at sport ... I can't do maths ... I really struggle with exams ... Sound familiar?

If you believe you can't do something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you really could get better at maths, or sport or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to?

You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young readers to find the confidence to realise their potential. The first children's book from Times journalist, two-time Olympian and best-selling mindset author Matthew Syed, it uses examples of successful people from Mozart to Serena Williams to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given, and that talent can be acquired. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, and, most importantly, a Growth Mindset, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything.

Practical, insightful and positive, this is the book to help children build resilience, embrace their mistakes and grow into successful, happy adults.

Also available: The You Are Awesome Journal. Whether setting out your goals, planning the best practice ever, keeping calm with breathing exercises or making paper aeroplanes to understand marginal gains, you'll love the brilliant activities in The You Are Awesome Journal - it's the perfect companion to You Are Awesome!

I think this book is awesome. It is easy to read and very gripping. The things it teaches you are great life skills that can be applied to almost everything. The fact that it is written in a fun jovial manner make it easy to read even for people who aren't big readers. (William, age 12 Lovereading4kids)

I loved this book. Easy to read and easily relatable. Even my dyslexic son who isn't a fan of reading has read it. It is a page turner and so positive. It really encourages children to be the best at whatever it is they want to do in life. (Lindsey (William's mum) Lovereading4kids)

I loved this book. 'You Are Awesome' really builds your confidence and shows you how the right mind-set can help you achieve your dreams. I learned so much from this book. It shows that you have to be brave, prepare for failure and have self-belief. A definite must read for anyone who wants to achieve more with their lives and build their confidence. (Ella, age 13 Lovereading4kids)

The book made me feel more confident in everything I do, and I think it can help other children, too. It makes you think about making up new rules when old rules don't fit, and think about things from different angles to find solutions. The book explains that working hard helps you in achieving your goals, and is really inspiring. I loved it! (Toby, age 10 Lovereading4kids)
