YOU ARE A BADASS IS THE SELF-HELP BOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO DESPERATELY WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES BUT DON'T WANT TO GET BUSTED DOING IT. In this refreshingly entertaining how-to guide, bestselling author and world-traveling success coach, Jen Sincero, serves up 27 bitesized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, sage advice, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word, helping you to: - Identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviours that stop you from getting what you want. - Create a life you totally love. And create it NOW! - Make some damn money already. The kind you've never made before. By the end of You Are a Badass, you'll understand why you are how you are, how to love what you can't change, how to change what you don't love, and how to use The Force to kick some serious ass.

I'm very iffy on this book. There were some chapters and sections that I loved but some were very eh and some were straight up bad advice (the money chapter and the part about tricking yourself out of depression). Overall there are some parts I'll use, like analyzing my stories and such. Definitely glad that I skipped some parts tough.
For anyone feeling a bit stuck in their life, unsure of how to level-up, this book is for you! A great way to dip your toes into the self-helpisphere. This is the most fun, accessible self-help book I've ever read, and has tons of great little tid-bits to jumpstart the life you want. Sincero is actually hilarious, and each chapter left me feeling like a total, gen-u-wine badass mofo. Her “What are you waiting for??” message combined with so many reminders to self-love has truly inspired me to change the course of my life and my career right here, right now, without fear. Career in writing - here I come!
Well, I think I just got the pep talk of my life. In all seriousness this is not a genre I usually read (I'm, as I'm sure is obvious by my reviews) more of a horror, fantasy, YA gal. But this book was actually quite refreshing to read. Sincero goes into her own life and how she changed her boring life to get what she wanted. I think a lot of us can relate to the mundane cycle of life we find ourselves in - going to school, going to work, sleeping, and doing it all over again. But the potential to change it up and grab that life you really want is within all of us. I love how Sincero breaks her book up into topics and little snippets of wisdom. So - yes, not a genre I usually read. But still a very solid one at that.
This book spends a lot of time talking about the Law of Attraction, which I have not had a lot of success with. Therefore, many chapters didn't resonate with me.
