Why people recommend it
Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima is a self-help memoir and guide designed to help readers overcome self-doubt, conquer imposter syndrome, and recognize their inherent self-worth. On an episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty, host Jay Shetty introduced author and IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima, noting her extensive philanthropic efforts and her decision to donate 100 percent of her author proceeds to charitable causes. Shetty shared a powerful excerpt from page one of the book, which speaks directly to the vast majority of women and men who struggle with body image, feelings of inadequacy, and a lack of self-belief. Kern Lima discussed her journey of divinely downloading the book and emphasized that personal self-worth serves as the ceiling for success in every single area of life. Shetty enthusiastically recommended the publication, explaining that the chapters addressing common personal lies were deeply relatable to his own inner dialogue. Throughout the interview, Kern Lima encouraged listeners to pick up a copy of the book to discover simple, life-changing steps toward radical self-acceptance.

“As I sat here and read through the lies, I was just like, 'I've told myself that one, I've told myself that one, I've told myself that one, I've told myself that one,' and I think our community who's listening to On Purpose right now or watching will definitely feel that these lies are relatable. So I'd love to dive”

“I remember when you actually told me you were divinely downloading this book. Yes, and I wanted to start off; there are so many things I want to talk about in the book, but the thing that's calling me to start with is do you feel worthy today?”

“The book is available as we speak. Please welcome to the show the author of Worthy, Jamie Kern Lima.”
“This is a whole chapter in Worthy, like you said, where I go into all these lies and how do you unlearn them. This chapter is not about your weight; it's about that if you've been waiting on your weight to live your best life—or, by the way, the weight of expectations, other people's expectations, or your own—what weight are”
“And I get excited for what’s coming, because this isn't happening to me; it's happening for me. I detail how to build this new set of definitions in my book.”
“In the book, I worked through the meaning I assigned to being adopted and growing up often alone. I realized I could either continue to tell myself a disempowering story or redefine it in a way that resonates with the truth.”
