5 self-help books that won’t make you roll your eyes

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

When it comes to great self-help books, you have to take You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero into account.

This 27 chapter self-help book contains a bunch of entertaining and inspiring stories, good advice and simple exercises to help you help yourself. You Are a Badass is not afraid to throw a curse word or two into all of those areas, adding relatability to the read.

“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,” the synopsis reads.

One con for the book though is how Sincero speaks to clinically depressed readers. She calls depression “an excuse to be lazy and lie in bed all day.” I think we all know that that isn’t what depression is.

If making more money is your goal and Sincero’s work and style speak to you, check out the 2017 followup book – You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth.

Sincero’s work has been featured in the New York Times, The Dr. Oz Show, Oprah Magazine, Success Magazine/Radio, Money Magazine, Comedy Central, Forbes, Fast Company, Bloomberg, Interview, Cosmo and The Howard Stern Show.

She also wrote two semi-autobiographical novels in the early 2000s, Don’t Sleep With Your Drummer and The Straight Girl’s Guide to Sleeping With Chicks.

You can pick up a copy of You Are a Badass on Amazon as well as You Are A Badass At Making Money on Amazon, or at your favorite local bookstore.
