About this ebook
An interactive guide to self-discovery that helps young women tune out outside expectations, find their own voice, and build confidence in who they are and who they want to become.
Growing up means navigating a lot of voices telling you who to be. Soul Searching invites young women to turn down the noise, look inward, and discover what matters most to them.
Originally written by Sarah Stillman when she was just sixteen, this interactive guide approaches the challenges of adolescence from a uniquely relatable perspective. Through engaging quizzes, thought-provoking exercises, reflection prompts, and practical guidance, Stillman encourages readers to explore their values, strengthen their sense of self, and think more deeply about the choices and influences shaping their lives.
From self-image, health, and relationships to media, technology, gender, and the pressures of growing up, Soul Searching creates space for young women to ask meaningful questions about who they are and who they want to become. Rather than offering one definition of confidence or success, it encourages readers to develop their own sense of identity, direction, and personal values.
Accessible, interactive, and encouraging, Soul Searching is a guide to looking beyond outside expectations, trusting your own voice, and navigating the journey from adolescence to adulthood with greater confidence and self-awareness.

About the author
Sarah Stillman graduated from Yale with simultaneous Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Anthropology before pursuing her PhD at Oxford—an inspiring example of what a self-confident teen can achieve. Active in the international global justice movement, she has worked with migrant factory workers in southern China, refugees in rural Guatemala, and HIV/AIDS patients in Thailand. In 2008, she was embedded with the 116th Military Police Company in Iraq as a foreign correspondent for Truthdig, following which New York University named her the inaugural recipient of The Reporting Award. Stillman has written about her experience in Iraq for The New Yorker and currently works as a fellow at Yale’s Morse College, where she co-teaches a course on the Iraq war with a U.S. Army captain.
