“You’re going to have to get rid of old, limiting beliefs and cling to your decision to create the life you desire like your life depends on it. But this and the below quotes should be enough to tell you whether you want to give it a shot! Only in your commitment and relentless drive will you achieve what you’re looking for. Without giving too much away here, I can only add that the author really stresses the fact that you have to make hard decisions and then stick with them. I have never been big on affirmations, but I do think there’s something to the idea of repeating positive phrases to yourself in order to change your way of thinking. I don’t think she actually uses the words affirmation or mantra, but those are basically what she suggests – telling yourself that you can do x or y, rather than telling yourself you can’t.
The anecdotal stories are good, most of them are relatable, some are very aspirational (like traveling the world with a steady 8 to 5), but I think that’s the whole foundation – what seems aspirational and out there could really be yours if you commit. However, if you listen, it probably brings a whole lot of life to it. You can tell the author is trying to make jokes and be funny, and sometimes reading the words falls a little flat. I chose to read a physical copy of the book and I gotta say, I think listening to the audio might be the better choice with this one. The writing was pretty good for the most part. This is great for a really good self-help book – you should want to revisit parts of it! So it’s great for starting and stopping as needed, as well as referring back to later on. Five parts, with several chapters and sub-sections within each of those chapters. It’s broken up into manageable, easy-to-read chunks. You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life is a pretty short and fairly quick read. I honestly think my boyfriend might have bought it? In any case – I liked the title and I thought it would be good to start the new year with some motivation.
I don’t even know how this book ended up on my shelf.
