You Do You: How to Be Who You Are and Use What You've Got to Get What You Want by Sarah Knight
4.0
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.
