You Are a Badass
by Jen Sincero
Sincero's profane, funny pep talk covers self-worth, fear, money and action with a lot of personal anecdote and a dose of law-of-attraction thinking. It is a fast read that works for people who need energy more than evidence. Her advice to decide, then act, is sound; the manifestation chapters are faith, not method.
Read it if…
you are stuck and want a loud, irreverent friend to tell you to get moving.
Skip it if…
you dislike swearing or the manifesting genre; both are central.
Three things you will actually use
- Decide; most people never do.
- Do the thing that scares you, now.
- Stop apologizing for wanting more.
Do this first
Decide on one thing today, out loud, and take the first ugly step before bed.
Our verdict
High-energy and light; a jolt, not a system.
