F*ck Your Comfort Zone

Take a Risk and Become the Lead in Your Own Life

Margie Haber

Hollywoods #1 Acting Coach

No one wants to be around or watch someone who is perfect. And none of us are. So, fit! Margie pushes you to bring your authentic, messy, odd, beautiful self to everything you do. Even though this books title is swearing at you, take these words to heart.

JOHNNO WILSON,

actor and comedian (Ravens Home, Curb Your Enthusiasm)

You know how when youre uncomfortable you immediately insult yourself or your intelligence to break the tension? It sucks, right? I know! Margie taught me how to cut that shit out, step into myself, and stop giving away my power. And she can teach you too! God, this quote probably sucked psych, its perfect!

DAN NUFER,

actor (Lets Make a Movie)

Ive had a number of coaches during my time in La La Land. Margie was the first one to teach me how to wield my creative life like a superpower.

TERRELL BATTLE,

actor (Black-ish, The Good Doctor, Killing It)

Early on I had a lot of fears that stopped me. I remember auditioning for a musical, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I handed the sheet music to the pianist, walked out onstage, and when I opened my mouth to sing, no sound came out. Again, the pianist played the intro, and again, no sound came out. I left the stage knowing that I had to learn how to manage myself in spite of my fears. I wish F*ck Your Comfort Zone had been written back then. I could have saved myself a lot of anguish and time in therapy.

TIM BAGLEY,

actor (Will & Grace, Grace and Frankie)

Ive spent most of my life taking risks: traveling the world for authentic street food, opening and sometimes closing restaurants, writing cookbooks, and pioneering one of Food Networks first cooking shows, and Ive loved all of it! Margies book is a great reminder to reach for your dreams and enjoy the journey!

SUSAN FENIGER,

I spent much of my life fearful that I wouldnt be liked if I showed the real me. Its so freeing to accept that Im fine as I am, especially as a TV journalist and interviewer. Reading Margies insightful book reinforced how imperative it is to free yourself and be in the moment.

SUSAN NEISLOSS,

My mind was swirling constantly: Look this way. Cry this way. Anger this way. Love this way. Act this way. Then I met Margie. Now, its: Create the life. Live the life. Give that Critical Parent a hug, then tell em to shut the f*ck up. Its time to play! Wait till you read this book.

Back in the day, while casting the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I learned a valuable lesson. I cannot control the outcome. I can only do my job to the best of my ability and let go of the rest. Margies book teaches you just that, and she does it in a supportive and loving way. Inspiring!
