Charlamagne Tha God, New York Times bestselling author of Black Privilege and always provocative cohost of Power 105.1´s The Breakfast Club, reveals his blueprint for breaking free from your fears and anxieties.

Being "shook" is more than a rap lyric for Charlamagne, it´s his mission to overcome. While it may seem like he´s ahead of the game, he is actually plagued by anxieties, such as the fear of losing his roots, the fear of being a bad dad, and the fear of being a terrible husband. In the national bestseller Shook One, Charlamagne chronicles his journey to beat those fears and shows a path that you too can take to overcome the anxieties that may be holding you back.

Ironically, Charlamagne´s fear of failure-of falling into the life of stagnation or crime that caught up so many of his friends and family in his hometown of Moncks Corner-has been the fuel that has propelled him to success. However, even after achieving national prominence as a radio personality, Charlamagne still found himself paralyzed by anxiety and distrust. Here, in Shook One, he is working through these problems-many of which he traces back to cultural PTSD-with help from mentors, friends, and therapy. Being anxious doesn´t serve the same purpose anymore. Through therapy, he´s figuring out how to get over the irrational fears that won´t take him anywhere positive.

Charlamange hopes Shook One can be a call to action: Getting help is your right. His second book "cements the radio personality´s stance in making sure he´s on the right side of history when it comes to society´s growing focus on mental health, while helping remove the negative stigma" (Billboard).
