Today show correspondent Ann Curry writes to herself as a rookie reporter in her first job, telling herself not to change so much to fit in, urging her young self, “It is time to be bold about who you really are.” Country music superstar Lee Ann Womack reflects on the stressed-out year spent recording her first album and encourages her younger self to enjoy the moment, not just the end result.

What I Know Now: Letters to My Younger Self
A book full of fluff, nothing of substance…
a good book to have on the shelf but nothing else.
I waited several weeks and my book did not show up in the mail. I emailed the seller and got a quick response. My book got lost in the mail and unfortunately they did not have a replacement so i did not get my purchase.
Excellent book to help guide women that it’s okay to make mistakes in your younger years.
some authors included in this work give you enough background to understand why they advise their younger selves the way they do. Other authors are just vague. It’s nice to compare their experiences and roads to self-development to mine and for that reason it’s a good read to keep on the shelf; besides the awesome women included in it.
Loved reading these letters and learning about the lives of those who wrote them! Excellent and inspiring!
