Ber latest book, How We Choose to Show Up, hands over the keys to a happier, more effective, balanced life. How? By revealing nature’s model of how we’re designed to thrive.
Every day we have a choice:
• Do we “Just Show Up,” improvising as we go, phoning in our intentions?
• Do we “Truly Show Up,” living decisive moments with intent?
• Or are we “Barely There,” struggling to Show Up at all?

Showing Up is the invisible system all around us, connecting us to our Society, Situations, Selves, and each other. And it’s a contact sport. It’s how we lead, whether parenting, coaching, playing, empowering one another, or steering a global company.

Marcy Axelrod explains this truth clearly and profoundly. Through twenty years of research and pragmatic examples, she reveals the roadmap to “Truly Show Up” more often and with greater ease.

At once simple and life changing, listeners will deepen their self-grounding, social readiness, and societal connectedness. Understanding what it means to Truly Show Up leads us to relate more human-to-human, inspiring greater health, competence, and confidence. We then infuse this richness into our families, businesses, economy, and the health of our planet.

Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Showing Up is the crucial playbook for leading an impactful, high-achieving life—all while taking care of the world and each other.
