Summary
For those who are givers, carers, and empaths, a guide to focusing that energy on yourself—even if that feels frightening, from popular LGBTQ+ activist and advocate Jeffrey Marsh.
Like many of us, Jeffrey Marsh was conditioned to have an outward focus—to give to others, to be a good listener, and to be the one who gave the best advice. In Marsh’s case, it was a method of survival. Growing up genderfluid in an unaccepting family, Marsh did everything they could to meet the needs of others and not have needs of their own. And ultimately, this meant Marsh put themself in the backseat of their own life.
In this heartfelt and sincere book, Marsh shares their story and the lessons they learned on the path back to themselves. Whether you’re a survivor of abuse and trauma like Marsh or you’ve passively accepted that your worth ought to be defined by your usefulness to others, Take Your Own Advice will give you the confidence to lead your life on your terms, and to prioritize what’s important: you.
It’s time that you learn to put yourself first, to take care of yourself, and to ask others to listen to you for a change. You do give the best advice, after all!
Critic reviews
"It doesn’t cost us anything to let others be freely themselves, rather it is an invitation to us all to live more fully. Jeffrey is a light that inspires inclusion and freedom to be…just as we are."—Hilaria Baldwin, actress and entrepreneur, co-founder of Yoga Vida, and author of The Living Clearly Method
"I wish I had been friends with Jeffrey when they were growing up to give their beautiful soul a confidant. Their story feels universal, and deeply personal. Take Your Own Advice should be required reading for anyone who learned to sacrifice their own happiness to keep others happy."—Meredith Salenger, actress and activist
"At a time when 'self-care' can mean many things, Jeffrey Marsh's heartfelt memoir is a guide to self-love for the everyperson. And their story—one powered by audacity, truth and kindness—empowers us to be just as as assured and authentic as we are."—Tre'vell Anderson, author of We See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film

Eye Opening
Having recently come out as trans, it was so reassuring to know I'm not alone in some of the things I'm going through.
This book really changed my perspective on how I treat myself, and I will endeavour to be kinder to myself everyday.
An excellent read for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, or for anyone wanting to learn some empathy for what some members go through.

Wonderful
I’d recommend this book to everyone.
Jeffrey radiates kindness and has the most beautiful voice for an audiobook. Very good advice given from an interesting perspective. Heaven only knows how one person could experience so much and still have enough joy and kindness to share with strangers. Inspirational.
