[book] You are a Badass, Jen Sincero (8/10)

3 posts in this topic

This book is a great starter for getting acquainted with the many facets of self-helpery with a spiritual aura. I'd like to stress that this is more of a beginners guide through self-help (it is a #1 New York Times bestseller, after all), so if you've been doing self-help for a few years like I have, these concepts probably won't be anything new to you. Nevertheless, it was a great refresher and I was able to learn about manifesting money, which is a topic I normally ignore (she has another book about money which I will probably read). This would be a great gift book for someone who is a newbie to self-help that you think would benefit from the topics listed below. It's an easy, entertaining read.

 Some of the topics:

  • Forgiveness
  • Faith in a Higher Source
  • Meditation for beginners
  • The stories we tell about ourselves/the ego, which she calls "the big snooze"
  • Giving and Recieving
  • Gratitude
  • Fear
  • Projection
  • Money
  • Surrender

Here are some quotes I highlighted

  • "Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past"
  • "If you're serious about changing your life, you'll find a way, not an excuse"
  • "The more you have, the more you have to share" (in regards to finance)
