You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

2.0

DNF- in Jen Sincero’s words, this book “doesn’t serve me, so I’m letting it go.” This self-help book is targeted towards an audience that apparently unanimously doesn’t seem to experience depression, anxiety or hardships. I decided to drop the book after I fully listened to the section on forgiveness, which is more than halfway through the book (3 hours in). It’s as if the author were completely ignorant of the consequences of harm, of the danger in silencing one’s anger in response to harm, and of the important role of repair before considering forgiveness. We don’t live in a world isolated from others. People’s actions impact others’ lives.
