The Worthy Project

Learn Your Value. Own It. Celebrate It.

the worthy project by meadow devor, personal development book

Yes, self-worth is something you can learn and practice! The Worthy Project tells you how.

Take a step back and think about how satisfied you are with your life. Is your home too cluttered? Do you have trouble saving money? Do you feel like your friends and family take more of your energy than they give back? We all have an area (or two!) in our lives that we're not quite satisfied with―and often those trouble spots stem from one simple place: a lack of self-worth. Worthiness is the quality of deserving attention, energy, and respect. It's not confidence. It's not bravado. You can't fake worthiness, nor can you accidentally end up with it. But what does it actually mean to cultivate self-worth, and how do you do it?

The Worthy Project is one of the best self-development books—because it truly changes your life. The Worthy Project guides you through a practical, six-week personal discovery program that helps you identify where feelings of unworthiness might manifest in your life, complete with exercises, journal prompts, and personal stories from real women. Internationally recognized personal development teacher Meadow DeVor explains the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and defining your priorities in your self-worth journey. It's time to let go of the self-doubt that is holding you back in order to unleash your true potential!

books to boost confidence: the worthy project by meadow devor

Audible Original

Learn to stop living as if worthiness is for someone better, thinner, smarter, or more successful and to start living with a sense of self-worth. The secret? Self-worth is something you can learn and practice.

Is your home too cluttered? Are you dissatisfied with the state of your bank account? Do you feel like your friends and family suck more of your energy than they give? Are your clothes outdated or the wrong size? These symptoms (and yes, they are symptoms!) may seem unrelated, but they are all red flags that lead to the same problem: a lack of self-worth.

Worthiness is the quality of deserving attention, energy, and respect. It’s not confidence. It’s not bravado. You can’t fake worthiness, nor can you accidentally end up with it. Worthiness is like a muscle. There are things you can do to strengthen that muscle and there are plenty of things that will weaken it.

Worthiness is an inside job, and this book teaches you how to do the job right. You'll learn to stop undervaluing yourself, to stop giving yourself away for cheap, and to start investing in yourself. Throughout the book, you'll get unexpected actionable items to help you put these concepts to work right away. Through a practice of small deliberate changes in behavior, you begin to clarify what strengthens or weakens your sense of self-worth.

The Worthy Project will guide you through the steps in your own life to diagnose feelings of unworthiness and offer practical advice for how to let go of the self-doubt that is holding you back and unleash your true potential.

The Worthy Project is one of the best books to boost confidence because it actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Whether you're dealing with low self-esteem, loneliness, lack of motivation, or just generally looking to improve your life, self-help books typically condense years (sometimes decades) of the best information and strategies into a powerful strategy to make changes to your life. It’s a way to save time, learn empowering information, and improve your life. One of the great things about self-help books is that they can be used as a reference to return to when you need a refresher.
