Introduction

“You do You!” We find this idiom all the time in motivational speeches. You do you is basically a millennial version of do what you want. But how many of us can actually do what we want? Following established societal norms seems so much easier, right?  Now, what if on this fine day, you decide to cast away all these external pressures and start leading an authentic life?

Self-improvement expert and “anti-guru” Sarah Knight believes it is important to build an individualistic social existence and stand up for who you are. You can take her word – she knows how to escape the life you inherit and how to reach for the one you crave. She reminds us that true happiness doesn't come from relentless people-pleasing, but from unapologetically living life on your own terms. Whether you're drowning in endless obligations, stuck in an unfulfilling job, or simply craving more meaning and joy, You Do You is a soul-shaking wake-up call for self-discovery.

One gloriously flawed, messy, amazing life to call your own. Don't waste it stuck in someone else's idea of how you should exist. You do you, always. Because why would you want to do anything else?
