Dr. Rumeet Billan and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new bestselling book Who Do I Want to Become, Tall Poppy Syndrome, psychological capital, self-confidence, stress and tolerance and why we need to be comfortable in our own skin.

Synopsis

Who Do I Want To Become? It’s a book for anyone, of any age, who has been stumped by the question of what they’re going to be when they grow up.

A class project is due, and Dylan is struggling with the question: What do you want to be when you grow up? Ultimately, he realizes that it’s who you are that matters the most.

Who Do I Want To Become? is a refreshing new take on a question asked time and time again. One that invites us to discover something wonderful about ourselves that has nothing to do with what you want to be and everything to do with who you are and who you want to be.
