About this audiobook

Who are you? As a young adult you struggle with lots of issues-finishing school, finding a career, finding a partner, and most importantly figuring out who you are. That can be overwhelming, especially when you feel like the people all around you have it all figured out. Become your best self. Figuring out how to make friends, develop relationships and to be confident is a step-by-step process. Now help is available in Embracing the Awkward, written by the popular teen-advice-YouTuber, The Josh Speaks. This isn't another dry instructional book written by a boring adult disconnected from the millennial reality, it's a guide, a workbook, an empowering step towards trying things out, discovering who you are, and becoming your best self. Embracing the Awkward gives you ideas for developing your own unique style of speaking and engaging with others. Learn how to: approach people; lead into conversations with groups; make strong friendships in school; approach your crushes and ask them out; deal with failure and rejection; and maintain family relationships.
