How Not to Be a Hot Mess

How Not to Be a Hot Mess: A Survival Guide for Modern Life

2020

Self-help/life style books are a difficult genre for me as it's really hard to be told what to do and to change if it's in a way I don't like or agree with. So besides having agreeable advice Craig & Devon Hase tell it to me in ways I deeply appreciate and respect.

-framed as advice
Rather than things one must or should do

-they are transparent
They come off as authentic and discuss openly mistakes and difficulties and acknowledge their backgrounds. They cite credible sources for their claims.

-give examples and non examples; spelling out how a message is to be intended
Eg explanation of consent, explicitly saying that while yes we should be kind that we can also exclude those that do us harm
