Yourself, reimagined.

 In response to the childhood messages that she — like the personality-disordered aunt she supposedly resembled — did not matter, Shifra Malka writes to the core of her struggle to recover her beaten spirit and to build the large life that matters to her. 

Addressing the question of what mattering means, of what makes our lives large and when is it enough, Shifra explores these themes through the prism of how the question personally played out in her relationships with her family, her Orthodox Jewish religion, and the American culture focused on appearance, food, and money. 

Compassionate and healing to those wounded by similar messages, and energizing for all who want to make their lives large and remarkable, Dare to Matter is an exquisite call to satisfACTION.

“A beautifully-written and profoundly powerful work about one of life’s most important topics, namely that we are all created to matter. It helps us all understand how our individual uniqueness is a gift, one we should enthusiastically and joyfully share with the world. Ms. Malka compels her readers to rethink their circumstance and to rediscover how we all possess personal power. I am excited the world will soon be able to experience her fabulous insights. This is, in a word, superb.”
