Books by Deondriea Cantrice

Read carefully. You might stop believing what you've been told.

Some books give you new rules to follow. These do something less comfortable: they make you notice the rules you've been following all along, and then they ask who wrote them.

How to win without losing yourself

This book is for the person whose value is constantly relied on but rarely rewarded. You're trusted with the work. Called when there's a problem. Expected to deliver. Counted on to carry more.

Yet when opportunities, recognition, influence, and advancement are on the table, somehow your contribution becomes easier to overlook.

  • You trained the person who got the promotion.
  • Your calendar is full. Your title hasn't changed.
  • You've been told you're "so valuable right where you are."

If you read those and felt your jaw tighten, you already know why you need this book. Read it before your next review, your next negotiation, or your next quiet decision to settle.

Familiar isn't the same as true. Ask who told you that.

Who Told You That?

The lies you call truth and how to interrogate what you believe

Many of the beliefs running your life were never chosen. They were handed to you, modeled for you, concluded from something that hurt, or repeated until they sounded like fact.

ToldTaughtTranslatedRehearsed

This book shows you how to trace a belief back to where it came from, put it under honest examination, and decide whether it has earned the authority you've been giving it. Not positive thinking. Not another set of rules. A way to choose what you believe.
