Start Lying to Yourself

Set yourself free, one lie at a time In this ground-breaking new book, bestselling author Simon Gilham shows us how to switch up the narrative we tell ourselves. Through the empowering lies and related actions outlined in this book, we dismantle the old story of our lives and in turn start constructing a new one. **Inside, discover a set of 20 core empowering lies plus specific actions designed to interrupt self-doubt, rewrite identity and compound into lasting change** Through this seemingly counter-intuitive practice, Simon has transformed his own life and has witnessed it change the lives of thousands of others - helping people unlock their full potential across work, relationships and self-confidence. This isn’t about denial, pretending or blind positivity. It’s about choosing better lies - the kind that create momentum, courage and self-trust - and backing them up with action, even before we feel ready. The stories we repeat become the life we live. Change the story, and everything else starts to move. 'The perfect book for anyone feeling stuck' - Anna Mathur, psychologist and bestselling author © Simon Gilham 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026
