You Do You: How to Be Who You Are and Use What You've Got to Get What You Want by Sarah Knight

No the type of advice that resonates with me, but Sarah is funny as always -- lots of throw back references to early 2000's, very nostalgic.

This book has great intentions but falls short. Knight’s other books have much more practical content. The underpinnings are all there, but most of the book is spent referencing parts to come or her other novels. It feels like you never actually get to the meat of the novel. The actual useful content is very limited. I was disappointed.

All I want to say is I love her "take no shit" attitude and her potty mouth.

I enjoyed this PD book. It was one of the first one books for personal development I have finished in a while. I’m glad to focus on it with this book.

Do you need some guidance on how to be more proactively you? Do you want to be as weird as possible, without being an asshole about it? Well, crack this baby open, because Sarah Knight's newest book is for you!
Back at it with her potty mouth, funny anecdotes, and no-nonsense tone, this self-help book takes no prisoners. Sarah Knight teaches you how to stick up for yourself, how to embrace your weirdness, and how to make choices and stick to them--and recognizes at the same time that there are some aspects about ourselves that really aren't choices or weird at all (like being gay, differently abled, or being a person of color). She also recognizes that some of her ability to authentically be herself (like quitting her day job to write) was also dependent on how well she fit into the norm, such as having money and being white.
My only caveat is that at times I found she mentioned her previous books quite often, and though I'm sure they're a great resource and of course you'd want to toot your own horn, it felt a little redundant at times. But hey, what a quick and easy way to advertise that you have other books out!
Overall, this was a quick, witty, and gritty self-help book that was as entertaining as it was helpful.
