You Are a Badass Author Jen Sincero “Took One for the Team”
You Are a Badass author Jen Sincero was once unimpressed with her life. Sure, she had published a couple of books and had family and friends, but she wondered, “Is this the best I can do?” She was barely able to pay the rent each month, dated a series of “weirdos,” and wondered about her deeper purpose. Her life felt lukewarm with “occasional flare-ups of awesomeness.” Deep down she knew she was “a total rock star,” capable of a great relationship and doing important things professionally, but she just couldn’t seem to get there.
Sincero decided to make some serious changes to get her act together, committing to the process of creating a new, better life. She embarked on a self-improvement journey that was at times colorful. She tried a series of self-help methods, including seminars where she had to shout “You’re awesome and so am I,” along with writing a love letter to her uterus, bonding with her spirit guide, participating in a ceremony where she married herself, taking her inner child on a playdate, and spent money that she didn’t have on life coaches.
You Are a Badass author Jen Sincero “took one for the team,” in essence wading through all the good and bad of the self-help world for the rest of us to pull out the essential things that helped her make major shifts in her life. And it worked — she was able to get herself out of a rut and find personal and professional success. Within 6 months of her decision to change her life, she tripled her income by creating an online writer-coaching business.
She decided to take every bit of useful self-help wisdom she found and share it with others via this book. So many people are unhappy and feel unfulfilled with at least some areas of their lives. This book’s goal is to help people get clear about what makes them happy and feel most alive and give them the tools to go out and create the brightest, best, “badassiest” version of themselves.
