Not your average Self-help book! Loved It!
I usually do not buy ‘self help’ books, but this one was suggested by a friend. I really enjoyed reading it and found it more helpful that I expected. It gives down to earth, practical advice that really helped me put some things into perspective. It has also led me to look inward at some of the root causes that lead to some self-doubt and self-sabotage. It also gives so great recommendations of other books that can help you continue on your journey. I enjoyed this so much that after finishing this book, I have also ordered the You’re a Badass Guided Journal and the You’re a Badass at Making Money.

Get What You Want Out of Life
This month’s read was another book that’s been on my “to read” list for quite a while. I purchased the paperback version of the book on vacation several years back. I started to read it then but didn’t finish the e-book version until this past month.I enjoyed reading the book and was surprised by the many actionable steps included in it. When I read a book on my Kindle, I use the app’s highlighting feature to highlight certain types of notes using the four available highlighting colors:• Yellow = general note• Orange = another person’s quote• Pink = external resource• Blue = actions I need to takeI had 18 Blue highlights in this book, so I have a lot of work to do to apply what I’ve learned.Some of the ways the author suggests you (and I) apply what you learn in the book include:1. Get rid of your bad habits by becoming aware of what you’re not happy about in your life, understanding the bad habits that create those things you’re not pleased with, and swapping out the bad habits for good ones.2. Breathe deeply, clear your mind, check in with your body, become present in the moment.3. Associate with people who are doing the things you want to be doing to get inspiration from them.4. Set honest goals that are just outside your comfort zone.5. Write down your goals and vision for your ideal life, read your goads just before bed and just after getting up.6. Pay for some coaching or mentoring to help you get to where you want to be quicker.7. Use your mind, body, and soul together to make your goals a reality.8. Figure out what actions make you feel invincible and do them.9. Love yourself.Some of my favorite quotes from the book included:• “You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life.”• “You’re going to have to let go of old, limiting beliefs and cling to your decision to create the life you desire like your life depends upon it.”• “If you want to live a life you’ve never lived, you’re going to have to do things you’ve never done.”• “…awareness is your key to freedom.”• “…faith being greater than your fear.”• “When we get so wrapped up in our heads, we miss out on what’s available to us right now in the moment.”• “…you create your reality.”• “Try seeing yourself through the eyes of someone who admires you.”• “Your job is to be as you as you can be.”As with any book, there are some areas that I’m not sure I agree with. Still, overall, I liked a lot of what I read and hope I’ll use the information as inspiration to move forward with creating the life I truly want, not the life I think is within social norms or what other people expect me to do.

Forget some of the haters…get the book. It’s awesome.
I thought this book was great and would recommend to most people.I’m surprised by some of the negative reviews saying there’s nothing new here….same could be said of almost any book along these lines. I’ve read many books like this (but much more serious) for 20+ years and although it’s not “new” information it’s information worth reminding yourself in any way that resonates with you. Sometimes I want to read something deep and serious and sometimes I want the same info in an easily digestible inspirational and funny way (like this). Even though I’ve read this message a thousand times this book had me reaching for my highlighter and my notepad so I can remind my self how awesome and badass I can be. 🙂 She happens to be very funny and blunt in her delivery which I personally appreciate. If you aren’t one that feels inspired by a lighthearted, humorous, direct, kick in the pants, approach to serious motivation then there’s always ……….Chicken Soup for the Soul(?) it’s gentle and won’t ruffle any feathers and calls God God so Christians won’t be offended.Some people reviewed negatively that she didn’t call God God…she called God God, The Universe, Spirit….things like that that all mean the same thing but take into account that the entire readership might not be Christians. Seems fair.For people complaining of the “strong” language….was the title not a clue there would be curse words? lolFor those who saw her sharing her life stories as self centered… my perspective was that she was being vulnerable in the most public of ways to say if you’re not where you want to be she can relate, in real life, and here’s why. She put it out there to be judged, and some people didn’t disappoint. I took it as hey, I may not be living in a garage but I’m possibly not where I want to be but if she can do it so can I. My perception was that she was championing anyone who doesn’t feel worthy that yes, you can do it not as her being self-centered. I appreciated knowing she wasn’t an already rich person writing from her beachfront home in Malibu while her staff brought her fresh peeled grapes giving us a BS “you can do it” but rather a lady who had been in what most would feel was a permanent hopeless lifestyle but believed in herself till she actually made her dreams come true and thought she might go ahead and help someone else do it too.It’s a super easy fast read that I think is a perfect book for someone on the beginning of their journey or a someone who’s been at it awhile. The term “beginner” is used in some of the negative comments as dismissive of the credibility of her book. I disagree with that as a negative because my philosophy is that we should always attempt to look at things with a beginners mind ….because once we think we know it all there’s nothing new to learn, is there. Even the biggest know it all will find something to smile at or shake their head yes or have a not so gentle reminder of our potential unless they try REALLY hard not to. ;)And last but not least…..yes. It is new age spiritual mumbo jumbo about making lists and meditating and manifesting your dreams. But again…doesn’t the title give that away? If you hate the idea that your thoughts, prayers, connection and introspection could possibly bring you a fuller better life then by the title alone it’s not a book you should even buy, read and negatively review unless you just like being negative. Nothing’s for everyone and she clearly has a target market as any book does. For this market it’s badass.Sorry for the long review but some of the negativity got under my skin. I’m so glad I didn’t read them before I read the book.

This book totally rocks!If you are looking for just a casual read, this is for you. It’s hilarious with lots of fun stories.If you are serious about changing your life, this is also for you. It will literally transform how you think and perceive reality if you stick with its principles. And the awesome life starts with your thoughts.

The author’s writing is engaging and accessible, making even the more complex ideas easy to grasp. What I loved most was how practical and actionable the advice was – every chapter offered concrete steps that I could immediately apply to my own life.The personal stories and real-life examples made the concepts even more relatable and helped reinforce the book’s message. The author’s tone is warm and motivating, which made me feel inspired to make positive changes. I also appreciated how the book didn’t just focus on theory but provided real tools and strategies for growth.Overall, this is an empowering read, full of valuable insights that left me feeling more confident and motivated. Whether you’re looking to make small improvements or take on bigger life changes, this book offers something for everyone. Highly recommend!

I love the book. It’s one of those you immediately get into at first read. Only thing that sucks is they delivered it next door. So I had to get it from my neighbor.
