You Are a Badass

Title: You Are A Badass  Author: Jen Sincero  Pages: 244  Genre: Motivation/self-help

This book is a way to motivate you and get you moving on making a life that you want and that you are proud of. Jen uses things that has happened in her life and she has experienced to give witness that good things happen to people that work for it and have faith that it will happen, have the thoughts that it will happen for them and that they are worth it. A lot of the time I think we get complacent in life and we need to read something like this to get us back into gear to fight for what we want.

Let's get this out of the way now, its to the point that if you have read one self-help book you have read them all right? I feel the same way. The difference with this book is with Jen's writing you feel like you are sitting on a couch talking to a friend telling her that life sucks and you want that change, you are dying for that change. She is there not to tell you that she agrees life sucks but to tell you to get off your butt and do something about it. There is swearing in this book so that is why I stated there is adult content. There is a part of this book that I didn't agree with that stood out. There is a chapter where she is stating to get rid of the toxic people in your life that feed on your energy and do nothing for themselves or you. Now I can agree you need to get rid of friends' like this but she made it sound like you need to "ghost" them. Where you just stop talking to them with no explanation and make them wonder why they aren't good enough to talk to anymore. I do not agree with this and believe that if you want to get rid of someone you need to tell them why you don't want to be around them anymore. They can't change and challenge themselves to be better if they don't know why everyone keeps abandoning them.
