Description
What if the only thing keeping you from living the life you’ve always wanted is the tale you’ve been telling yourself? In You Are a Badass, New York Times bestselling author Jen Sincero tears up the script of self-doubt and gives you a plan for making big changes in your life. This book is half a memoir and half a motivating manifesto. It takes you on a journey from “Who am I to do this?” to “Hell yes, I’m doing this!” through five strong sections:
- What made you this way
Sincero starts by looking at where your “BS filters” came from. These are the subconscious ideas you picked up as a child or via past failures. Through funny stories (like the time she almost lost her home and love), she shows how fear became your default setting. Reflective activities help you find the exact words like “I’m not good enough,” “I’m too old/young/odd” that play in your head and keep you stuck.
- How to Love Your Inner Badass
Sincero gives you a toolkit to rewire your thinking after you’ve shown him your old programming:
Affirmations with a Twist: Learn how to make short, powerful words that break up negativity and change the way your mind works, such “I am a magnet for miracles.”
Use all five of your senses to “pre-experience” success so that your brain thinks it has already happened.
Energy Calibration: Power posing and gratitude meditations are two examples of practices that can improve your health and make you feel more confident, abundant, and happy.
- How to Get to the Source
Here Sincero goes deep into the magical part of being a badass. She explains ideas like the Law of Attraction, quantum co-creation, and global intelligence, and shows you how to:
Increase Your Vibration: Make lists of things you’re thankful for and use heart-brain coherence exercises to get from fear to love.
Use synchronicities: See “coincidences” as signs from the cosmos that lead you to what you want.
Do “Badass Magic” meditations: These are guided practices that combine intention and strong feelings to bring about real-world effects.
- How to Stop Being a Jerk Already, dreams need to be acted on. In this part, Sincero’s tone changes from fun to drill sergeant as she guides you through her famous “Badass Action Plan”:
Goal-Setting on Steroids: Set “no-regret deadlines” and break big dreams down into little steps.
Fear Reframing: Use “What If It Doesn’t Suck?” challenges to get over your doubts and keep going.
Accountability Pods: Get together with friends to celebrate your achievements and give you a light push when you get stuck.
- How to Beat Someone Up
The latter chapters show you how to be a badass in all part of your life, including your money, relationships, profession, and personal growth. Sincero shows you how to do things like:
Change the way you think about money: Find scarcity attitudes and replace them with beliefs that love money.
Speak Your Truth: Be clear and charming when you talk about your limits and wants.
Keep Growing: To make sure you never stop growing, do “continuous badass upgrades” like monthly self-audits and yearly reinvention rituals.
You Are a Badass is more than just a book; it’s a life-changing experience. It has humor, tough love, and 27 “Sinceroisms” (truth bombs). When you get to the last page, you’ll know that living this book is even cooler than reading it.
