Purchase options and add-ons

“Who do you want to be?” We’ve all heard or asked this question before, yet few of us answer it because identity is not fixed, but ever-expanding as we move through life.


Dr. LaNysha Tufuga Adams, Ivy-League educated linguist and founder of award-winning education consultancy Edlinguist Solutions, challenges others to not only answer this question, but to put the answer(s) into action.


Me Power redefines empowerment, encouraging us to tap into our limitless flow of possibility while connecting with others. No matter the barriers, Me Power pushes us to activate the best of who we are and dismiss the possibility that power is something we can authorize, give away, or take from others.


Embracing this book is the first step to activating your Me Power. So what are you waiting for?

Must Read for Self Empowerment
This book is an absolute treasure. Dr. Adam’s not only opens up about her own personal journey with her struggles and successes, but writes in away to help guide all to better self awareness and ways to unlock the power we all have inside us that has been suppressed for so long. Extremely motivational and emotional. I am already applying techniques and tools from this book in my thoughts, actions and reactions daily. My favorite “Me Power” principle by far is “Speak for Your Life”….. very helpful in healing and encouraging more positivity for your souls growth and healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative, clever, and inspiring!
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2022

I am part way through the book, and it’s already a treasure! The idea of “Me Power”--in contrast to “empower”--is creative, clever, and inspiring. The author incorporates carefully curated anecdotes and research throughout to engage the reader. I love that each chapter ends with action items and ways to reflect. This book would be perfect for a book club or coaching group.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book so far (these give you a taste of the author’s framework):

(referring to “empower”) “Our taken-for-granted meaning of the word presumes an external owner of power who gives power to others… Therefore, we need to take a closer look at the embedded meaning of power over and how that contributes to our misunderstanding of empowerment.”

“But what if we thought of power as bound by a system, as opposed to being available in fixed amounts, waiting to be distributed? If each system has its own boundaries and rules, then there’s an unlimited amount of power available to each person.”

“When it comes to knowledge of self, it’s helpful to think about it as a learning triad cycle of unlearning, learning, and relearning.”

The last quote points to an innovative view on self-knowledge and is yet another example of the fresh perspective Dr. Adams presents in the book.

Looking forward to continuing to read this book and reflect along the way!

One of my favorite quotes in this book is, "Knowledge of self is the most important knowledge, and all other knowledge must revolve around it." LaNysha offers, if only we would begin with this from the time we are children, we would cultivate a deep sense of power from within. I couldn't agree with her more! We have it backward in our world and in our society (valuing external knowledge and influences over internal wisdom). LaNysha breaks it down in her beautifully written book, sharing her decades of knowledge and experience in education and her own rich, lived experience. I highly recommend this book. It's an engaging read, and her Me Power Principles offer universal and enduring guidance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knowing thyself is key
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023
Verified Purchase
“Me Power” begins with author LaNysha T. Adams relating a surprising story about how one of her prospective advisors during her postsecondary education said she should stick with a career in which she used her considerable “applied” skills rather than pursuing academic research and writing. Racial overtones came across during the talk.

Though hurt by the conversation, Adams shirked it off and went on to get her Ph.D. In "Me Power," which sounds more self-centered than it is, the author offers lots of good advice for readers on how to accomplish what they want by understanding what empowerment means and truly knowing themselves. That second thing can be elusive for many.

I remember an email that came my way from a work colleague many years ago, in which she inadvertently copied me and said a disparaging thing about my mental capacity. Those words still sting today. Adams’ book offers ways to get past stuff like that and much more. If you’re ready to better yourself while self-reflecting and taking full responsibility for your actions, “Me Power” could be the book for you.

The author is a trained linguist and seems to have numerous interests. She offers several real-life stories in “Me Power,” some of them purposefully harrowing, to demonstrate how “average” people can rise above super-tough circumstances. Some of the self-help advice in the book is well-known, but Adams jazzes things up with her own unique perspectives.

“Me Power” is an interesting mix of academic research and jargon alongside down-to-earth examples that pack a punch. At times I felt the prose could have been more focused, but overall this was a helpful read.

I can't tell you how many times I've read books telling readers to "fix" themselves. After reading Me Power, I realize it's not about fixing yourself—it's about finding the power within and using it.

The power within is based on five principles the author outlines with a lot of social science research. The book is written in an easy-to-digest way, with lots of practical questions that helped me personalize the information. We tend to focus too much on what we are not good at and try to "fix" ourselves when that is the opposite of empowerment. Learning what your true gifts are to share with the world is one of the most critical point in Me Power. Sharing those gifts is about the "we inside of me" as the author eloquently points out.

This book is like having conversations with an old friend who knows you well and reminds you who you are when you need it most.

This is an excellent book written thoughtfully by a great mind. I learned so much about myself and others with the help of this book. I plan to purchase and send to my loved ones and colleagues for the holidays, and will keep a few extra around for last minute gifts throughout the year. I can't imagine a person on earth who wouldn't connect with meaningful lessons in this book.
