You Are a Badass

"I haven't even read this one yet"

"Currently reading rom com from Colleen Hoover, but in the same genre I bought « The mountain is you » and «  101 essays that will change your life »! What about u? "

"I love me a good self help book to get me motivated to get sh*t done. This one was entertaining & had me pumped up for my future. Had me laughing at her personal failures. It's too real not to relate. Give it a go. You won't be disappointed. :)"

"like most self-help books, it introduces you to buzz words and advice you should already know if you’re old enough pick it up and says it can fix you from top to bottom, but it manages to do so in a very grossly ignorant and excruciating manner, which i’ll be detailing from easiest to bear to just. abhorrant. first of all, right off the bat, the author establishes a childish tone for the book. i understand it’s supposed to be friendly, ‘realistic,’ or the author’s way of expressing herself freely, but it’s like reading a teen blog from the early 2000’s in the worst way possible. this feels like it should’ve been expected, from the title and maybe first few pages, so i don’t judge the book on it, but it would’ve been nice if the blurb actually aligned with that tone so as to convey a clearer image of the book. secondly, within a few chapters, she states that she’s ‘went through the phase of being an atheist’ and now believes in spiritual energy and ‘The Universe.’ i am absolutely, in no way, here to make fun of her beliefs; i think everyone should freely believe in what makes them happiest. i was personally unaffected by her drilling the idea of the law of attraction throughout the book, but her introduction to it didn’t have to involve claiming that being an atheist is a ‘phase’ and saying that everyone is free to believe in what they like <em>as long as</em> it aligns with her somehow because that’s how they achieve success. it’s just a terrible thing to think, let alone say and then write in a book. as the book goes on it gets messier and messier, repeating itself so many times and bumbling through its chapters, it’s unsurprising that the author herself states that she wrote most of it in a month or a so. her long-winding monologues and anecdotes all buttered up in pretty pinterest quotes make such a great deal of what could’ve been relatable, or even just coherent, experiences so extremely niche to her and herself that it left me disconnected from the text a"

"I really really loved this book. While listening to Jen you can easily find comparisons in your own life where things could have gone differently if you have taken a chance. Not every part of this would work for everyone but I really think there us something in it for everyone. I am already looking forward to rereading this again at another time. Adapting pieces to my own life is already planting seeds of change. Definitely worth the read or listen as I did. "

"This book is so self-indulgent. "I was just like you, but then I became a successful life coach!" If that was your dream, paging through this, fine. For everyone else it just cherry-picks The Secret's philosophy. I heard "vision board" and my eyes rolled so hard I considered medical intervention. This book promotes a lot of unhealthy self-blame, and is surprisingly racist and ablelist."

"Very good, I'd be more of a fan of there wasn't so much colorful language but hey, the title obvs indicates there will be some. I especially like the resources chapter at the end. More options without all the swearing."

"LOVE IT! I can't wait to read her other books."

"What a fantastic audiobook! I’ve listened to or read lots of “self-help“ books; most feel stilted and this one felt “normal“. Jen breaks down all of that “self-help weirdness” into practical bits using lots of common sense examples tinged with humor. I’m glad she narrated the book… Only she could’ve given it the flavor it needed. Bravo!"
