From the Canadian Choice Award-winning Pearl Psychological, Vanessa Iceton presents Mindset Coward: Lying Our Way To The Truth.

This book is about courage disguised in everyday choices. It brings together the raw stories of entrepreneurs, veterans, and immigrants who confronted their own illusions, comfort, fear, shame, pride, and learned to move anyway. Each chapter is part confession, part compass: the lies we tell ourselves, the truths we run from, and the rare moments when survival instinct finally bends toward transformation.

At the heart of the book are stories like Vanessa’s, navigating the weight of expectations and rewriting the failure script, as well as those of Jessica, Asher, and Joshua, who turned silence into leadership. Together, these accounts form a mirror for anyone standing at the edge of change. This isn’t a manual with neat answers. It’s a living record of contradictions: faith tested by doubt, ambition tempered by humility, pain stitched into wisdom.

Mindset Coward asks its readers a simple but disarming question: What would your life look like if you stopped negotiating with fear and named the truth out loud?

Your Story Deserves Courage.

Every courageous journey begins with a moment of truth. All progress starts when you’re honest with yourself. You’ve made it this far because something in you knows it’s time… time to stop circling the same patterns and start transforming them. You can’t fix what you’re not willing to face. And you can’t regulate what you refuse to acknowledge. Your patterns aren’t your prison, they’re your starting point.
