Being That Unicorn means being the magnetic person that everyone in the room is drawn to. It means being honest and true to yourself every day, no matter what. When you are really, really good at being yourself, you’ll make other people feel really, really good about themselves, too. In Be That Unicorn, Jenny Block, author of several best sellers for women, shows you how to stop putting yourself down and start finding your magic.

From BTU – “That Unicorn is the best you. That Unicorn is a glittery, rainbow-maned metaphor for one’s joyful self…the kind of person we are all drawn to. That Unicorn  is you. My mom has always said that people are drawn to me because I make everyone feel good about themselves. Throughout my life, people have echoed that sentiment. It’s the thing I love about myself the most: I’m the big sister, the BFF, the mom, the cheerleader, the coach…“the little unicorn that could” who everyone deserves.”

“Sometimes being a unicorn is lonely. After all, we’re pretty unique creatures. We’re smart and sassy and fun and, well, weird! The trick to BTU is embracing our weirdness (it’s our magic after all) and finding our band of other spectacular unicorns. Jenny Block teaches us all how to embrace our inner unicorn, let our magic shine, and find our herd. And remember, the best brown horse can win the Kentucky Derby, but he’ll never be a unicorn!”
