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.

I love reading this book
I loved this book! It really showed me how nobody is just born with a talent, they have to practise and practise to get better at it and its the same for everyone. I reccomend this book to anbody who wants to try something new like a new sport or a hobby so they know that what they are doing is right. I think every child should read this before they get older so they try harder at things. Overall this is a FANTASTIC book that I read!
I thought this book was interesting and good for people how have moved school or moving up a year. If your interested in facts and science it is great but for a story it is ok. My thought about this book are that it is funny, well written and interesting. I would recommend this book to everyone
