I love Jen Sincero, her books are funny and uplifting and contain lots of insightful and applicable information! I love that this book has actual steps to follow to create a habit.

So it turns out this got into my head a lot more than I realized. I’m not sure why, but It struck a nerve and the whole mantra thing of hers? It’s a thing.

A quick read but nothing particularly new for those that have read similar books.

"Badass Habits" by Jen Sincero falls short of delivering a fresh perspective on personal development, earning only two stars in my review. Sincero, known for her motivational approach, seems to have stuck to a formula that worked for her in previous books, resulting in a repetitive and predictable read.
The central theme of the book revolves around the familiar mantra of "believe it, act it, and become it," a message that echoes through the entire "Badass" series. While the emphasis on positive thinking and self-belief is undoubtedly important, "Badass Habits" struggles to offer anything new or substantial to readers who may have already explored Sincero's earlier works.
The book is structured around anecdotes and examples that aim to inspire readers to adopt positive habits, but the lack of diversity in the content becomes apparent quickly. It feels as though Sincero is regurgitating the same ideas, merely repackaged with different stories to illustrate her points. As a result, the book fails to engage readers seeking fresh insights or a deeper exploration of personal development.
Furthermore, the tone of relentless positivity may come across as overly simplistic and detached from the real challenges individuals face in cultivating positive habits. Sincero's constant emphasis on the power of positive thinking could potentially alienate readers who are looking for a more nuanced and realistic approach to personal growth.
While "Badass Habits" may resonate with those new to self-help literature or those who respond well to a cheerleading style of motivation, it offers little for readers seeking depth and originality. In essence, if you've read one book in the "Badass" series, you've essentially read them all.
