This is a wonderful short novel about self-sabotage. I feel we can all take something from it, I have to say I did really enjoy it and it made me think about how I personally self-sabotage.

The narrator was really good, I enjoyed the audio as a whole.

This audiobook is about sabotage and self-sabotage and how we can know that we are doing it or that someone else is doing it to us. There are some important facts exposed here and some useful suggestions on what to do to avoid self-sabotaging that we are not usually aware of.

This audiobook is short and easy to listen to. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to listen to this! All opinions are my own.

This was my first Audiobook and I also thought that listening to Audiobooks compared to reading physical and eBooks might be different because as a reader I would never enjoy it as much as I enjoy reading words in lines. But it seems like even Audiobooks have their quality, I enjoy listening to this Audiobook, and not for a second, it felt any different from reading usual books. Emma Gannon's narration was very soothing and she has that encouraging and relaxing voice that made me feel matter to everything that she discussed.

Emma Gannon's 'Sabotage' covers all those aspects that people find themselves holding back; either it's self-criticism, toxic perfectionism, self-worth issues, or being highly self judgemental, the author brilliantly explains their effects and provides tips to deal with it. I see it as a practical guide to get ourselves to deal with the obstacles and problems that we create for us and find ourselves stuck and helpless. The author suggests a few ideas and suggestions remove such hurdles and make our path clear that could lead to a happy and satisfying life.

As my first Audiobook, I see it flawlessly and very helpful. I will highly recommend it to people dealing with self-worth issues and seeking ways to deal with it. Emma Gannon's examples and practical approach can be effectively implemented and above all, must listen to it for her calming voice and soothing narration.

What a little gem! I loved this book- it was clear and easy to understand with practical tips and suggestions to help yourself be your own best resource, rely less on outside validation and learn to have not only self-compassion but self-determination. This book was the perfect length and I absolutely loved the narrator (and that she is the actual author)- she was clear, spoke at a good pace and the lovely accent was a bonus! This is a good one to listen to again and again as we all could use the reminders on how to get to know ourselves better and recognize we deserve good things! Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Audio for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This a short book that is absolutely packed with helpful advice. I chose it because I know I'm guilty of self-sabotage, but I had no idea how much I was truly doing it! The biggest thing I got out of this one is the awareness as to when the sabotage is happening. I found this particularly relevant during this time of COVID because it is so easy for me to bail on things and not push myself, and blame the pandemic. I listened to the audio book read by the author. Her voice is soothing and listening was like getting a pep talk from a friend. Her writing is honest and straightforward. Because it's so short, I think I'll listen to it again soon to make sure it all sinks in. I highly recommend this book for anyone who suspects they need to make some changes in life.

Sabotage is a short and easy self-help read that addresses how we get in our own way. It's full of great tips and research-based insights that everyone will find useful.

Some of the topics covered are perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and self-help vs. self-care - which I thought was interesting.
 
My copy was an audiobook which is read by the author, who does a great job. This helps make the insights feel more personal was overall like a pep-talk with a friend.

I really like the book! It has some great tips for making yourself better. It is a great guide for having compasion for ourselves. As we grow and change. I will definetly recommend this book to friends and library patrons!

I really enjoyed this book. As a person who almost always wears a white shirt while eating spaghetti, I found Emma's writing to be extremely relatable. It was an easy, quick, quirky read that was full of great solutions to problems that the vast majority of the world face on a regular basis. I wish it was a little longer, but perhaps that was because I would rather read this book than get to my long list of crap I should actually be doing. Self-sabotage!

Excellent addition to the Pound Project publication from last year. Adding more thoughts and ideas around sabotage. I loved the audiobook narration, the explanations are clear and the style is great.

As a recent university graduate heading into job searching I found this very helpful and uplifting. The book is short, yet it doesn't feel incomplete. I find the advice very practical and can see myself actually using them. Emma Gannon is one of my favourite people to listen to, from her podcast to audiobooks, she just does it time and time again. Would recommend to anyone who feels a bit stuck in their life or just feels like they can do more.

This book was just what I needed to hear right now! It is a short audiobook, just under two hours, and includes a concise amount of information to explain how we sabotage ourselves in our life journey. The author narrates the book and has a lovely voice, which makes it a breeze to listen to, like a friend sharing her experiences and advice. I plan to listen to this again when I'm feeling a need for a wake up call to the mindset that trickles in from imposter syndrome or trying to be perfect, or when I think I don't deserve to be happy. The author covers several topics, both from her own life as well as with quotes and interviews from mental health professionals and professors. She talks about how we need to not run away from good things, and realize that we can be happy without worrying something bad will happen. She explains that we need to be our own cheerleader, and realize we have everything we need within us to keep ourselves going. Overall I recommend this book as one that you will return to, for encouragement, and to hear the right words at the right time.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Audio for an advanced audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This short two hour audiobook was my first exposure to Emma Gannon. I enjoyed listening to her narration.

My main form of self sabotage wasn’t covered but a comment on friendship resonated with me—If a friend makes you uncomfortable, reevaluate that relationship. I do think people will find her message helpful as the main theme is to be kinder to yourself.

Emma Gannon does it again! This is a great short self-help guide to getting out of your head. Listening to this audiobook felt like a much-needed therapy session. Going into this book I didn’t necessarily think that I self-sabotaged but Emma points out how a quest for perfection can do just that. This book has lots of little takeaways from Gannon’s interviews with psychologists.

This was a huge comfort read for me, the book was so relatable and comforting to know that someone out there feels the same way I do, and also the author did a great job at putting things into words. I felt myself nodding along to the majority of the book and being in awe of like "THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS IN PERSPECTIVE FOR ME". It provided new insights to me about how we get in our own way and bits of tips.
If you are someone who struggles with insecurity or feeling like you are not enough, this book is for you it will give you a big warm hug and help you understand and sort things out.

Short, easy to read. Straight to the point. Relatable tips on how Emma remedied self-sabotage and everything that comes with it. Tackles, self-worth, confidence, procrastination, and analyst paralysis.

I read the book but also listened to the audio version. I love audio for non-fiction because it's like a friend giving you advice. I also like to listen multiple times to sink in the message. Emma is the narrator and has a great voice.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley.

Sabotage is Emma Gannon's pocket-sized (super practical!) expansion on her 2019 article for Elle titled 'The Truth About Self-Sabotage And Why We're Afraid Of Success'. Emma talks about her own experience with navigating her own inner saboteur, giving it a name, and moving through the things you want in life.

I personally love connecting with the Audiobook for any self-care literature, as I feel like I'm sitting down to coffee with my most insightful friend. Emma's narration was no exception; she includes helpful tips for "Slaying Sabotage" as well as her favorite quotations from self-care champions like Brené Brown and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. With the narration being about two hours long, this is the perfect car-ride or errand-running listen! (Though if you really want to go above and beyond, sit down in a quiet space and reflect on Emma's advice!)

One insight that really stood out to me was the concept of the Sunk Cost Fallacy, which I had previously only known as an economic theory. I had never applied it to my own emotional bank, and I can't wait to start being mindful of that in my every day life!

If you enjoy any of Brené Brown's work and Bella Mackie's Jog On, or have ever sat up at night crying about the fact that your pet is going to die one day (guilty!), this is a helpful, quick resource for you! Enjoy!

I really and truly enjoyed this book. I am always self sabotaging myself and needed to hear what Emma Gannon had to say. I have already posted about this book on my socials and recommended. I listened to it as an audio book read by the author. This is a short book that packs a punch. I recommend it for everyone.

Sabotage by Emma Gannon is a perceptivel look at the destructive tendencies/behaviors most of us have, herself included.

Gannon lists classic self sabotage most of us are guilty of and recognize in ourselves, as well as less noticeable traits we have; procrastination and self-doubt. She really makes you think about the real motive behind your behavior. What triggers you to work against yourself? Is it fear? Is it insecurities? Do you even notice when you are doing it?

Not only does she provide personal examples of her self sabotage, she includes quotes from mental health professionals and others who have recognized their own self sabotage. It was insightful and comforting to know others are going through the same issues within themselves.

Along with examples of self destructive behavior and reasons why, Gannon provides tips to overcome yourself. Tips to recognize your self harm.

Listening to the audiobook really helped to drive her points across to me. It is a short, quick, helpful guide to recognizing and acknowledging yourself. Sabotage is full of insightful information and would definitely recommend it.


**I was gifted this audiobook by Netgalley and Andrews McMeel publishing in exchange for my honest review.

Brief, succinct and to the point. This was a great gentle introduction to the concept of self sabotage, how to recognise it and how to avoid it.

I enjoyed that Emma gave some of her own real life examples and also gave quite specific tips and tricks to help avoid the normal pitfalls.

The audio for this was nicely paced and I found it the perfect length for the subject matter.

I have been feeling like I'm sabotaging my successes at school and work for a couple of years now, and this brilliant little book couldn't have been more timely.

Sabotage is the perfect eye-opener for anyone who, like me, struggles with self-sabotage, procrastination and self-doubt. Although this audiobook is really short at less than two hours, it is surprisingly exhaustive in presentng all the relevant information on WHY and HOW we work against ourselves, even though we know what the right sction would be. It scared me to listen to so much truth that I've been hiding from myself, so even though it was difficult for me to learn some of it, it served as a much needed eye-opener.

The experienced was enhanced by a really good narrator, who made all the new inforation digestible. I think audiobook was definitely the right choice for getting this book.

On the other hand, the one thing I would have loved more of is solid advice on how to stop self-sabotaging. Even though it was an included section in Gannon's book, I could have used more tips and more encouragement..
