What to expect
As a child, Sarah Robb O'Hagan felt destined to become a champion, but her early efforts at sport, music and theatre failed to reveal a natural superstar. Unwilling to settle for average, she learned through a series of dramatic successes and epic failures to follow her own path to success.
Sarah climbed the corporate ladder at Virgin Atlantic, Nike, Gatorade and Equinox - also becoming a wife, mother and endurance athlete - and though in her twenties she was fired twice, in her thirties she led the turnaround of a $5 billion sports drink business. Her approach has stemmed from personal experience and inspiration from the band of highly accomplished 'Extremers' that she has met along the way: entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, TV personalities, an Olympic champion downhill skier, a former secretary of state, and even a world-famous tattoo artist. These Extremers helped her recognise that success doesn't come from conforming, hiding weaknesses or reaching some pre-planned destination. The bolder choice is to embrace Extreme You: to bring all that is distinctive and relevant about yourself to everything you do, and to bring out the Extreme in the people and the culture around you.
Inspiring, practical and funny, Extreme You is Sarah's training programme for developing the drive, originality and fierce attitude to become the best version of you.

My favorite thing about Sarah is that she's normal. She's one of us. She has good days and bad days. She has self-doubt. She proves to us that if she can do it, so can the rest of us.
Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why
-
A book that radiates a kind of active energy, not only with its generous use of capital letters, bad language and pop words like amazeballs, but with its persistent themes that all come back to the author's secret of success: Be The Most Kick Ass, Extreme Version Of Yourself And You'll Probably Get Somewhere In Life. The most satisfying part is that it never glosses over the fact that this will take Extreme Amounts Of Hard Work And A Whole Lot of Failure.
