Shellharbour City Library is excited to be hosting author Turia Pitt, discussing her latest book Selfish!

About this Event

City Library, Wednesday 8 October, 6pm.

The bestselling author of HAPPY (and other ridiculous aspirations) and UNMASKED explains the joy of being selfish and the practical side of self-love.

Hello dear reader! Thank you for choosing this book. Was it the cover that piqued your interest? That luscious hair of mine streaming over my shoulder in the cover photo?

Or … was it the title?

But why? Because, after all, who really wants to be *selfish*? Being called selfish is hurtful. It implies that you’re too demanding, inconsiderate of others’ needs, that you fail to put others first. It states that you’re taking up too much space.

We’re told that being a good woman means being selfless. That we should give, care and carry without ever asking for rest or help.

But what if those rules are breaking us?

In Selfish, I flip the script on sacrifice, guilt and burnout. With honesty and humour (you know it’s true!) I explore the cost of being selfless – and what happens when we dare to put ourselves first. This isn’t a book about ‘having it all’. It’s about having yourself. If you’re resentful, burned out, sick of people pleasing or simply pissed off …

This book is for you.

Surviving burns to 65 per cent of her body during an ultramarathon, Turia Pitt is living proof that, with the right mindset, anything is possible. She’s written four best-selling books, coached over 40,000 people in her online courses, sailed a boat around French Polynesia, competed at the Ironman World Championships, rubbed shoulders with Harry and Megs, and been an answer on the game show Hard Quiz. She spends her time with her young family, writing, and teaching women how to run. Her new book, Selfish: How to Unlearn the Rules That Are Breaking You, is part memoir, part manifesto – a reclamation for those of us who are tired of being well behaved and ready to take back our time, energy and power.

Books available to purchase at the event.
