Have you been stuck in a rut, doubting yourself, or just feeling like you’re spinning your wheels? If so, you are going to want to keep your peepers on this review! Jen Sincero’s book, You Are A Badass, is the wake-up call your inner badass has been waiting for. This isn’t just a self-help book; it’s a sassy, no-nonsense guide to kicking doubt to the curb and living the life you’ve always dreamed of.
I first read this book over the holidays but held onto it because I like to save some nuggets for the right time. And now felt like that time. I give it 4 golden squeegees, because it’s solid, witty, and fun. Jen has a super attitude and a bold voice that feels like the cool older sister of personal development. She blends humor, wisdom, and truth like a pro. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to shake things up, this book is it.
What Makes You Are A Badass A Must-Read?
Sincero does something not all self-help gurus manage to pull off. She makes you laugh while also making you rethink your entire life! The book is broken down into 27 bite-sized chapters, each packed with wit, wisdom, and actionable advice. Whether she’s breaking down the Law of Attraction or explaining why your subconscious beliefs are sabotaging you, her words hit like a pep talk from your sassiest, truth-speaking best friend.
Your Thoughts Create Your Reality
Sincero hammers home one key message: you’re capable of amazing things. But first, you’ve got to stop listening to that little voice in your head that says, “You can’t.” Instead, she urges you to own your greatness and harness your personal power.
And I’ll tell you right now—I live by this every day. I don’t even set an alarm. I wake up around 4am, grab my coffee, sit at my desk, write out my goals, and get to studying. My mind is my engine, and I treat it like one. I truly believe I could fly by flapping my arms, that is until I stop believing it! Your reality starts with what you believe about yourself.
Face Your Fears (They Might Be Lame Anyway)
Ever notice how fear is usually just smoke and mirrors? Sincero challenges readers to call out their own BS excuses and take bold, fearless action. What’s that thing you’ve been avoiding? Imagine how unstoppable you’d feel if you finally tackled it head-on.
I always say: when your back’s against the wall and Freddy Krueger is swinging his knife fingers at you, the only way out is UP. That’s leveling up. That’s rising above fear. And that’s what separates the dreamers from the doers.
Manifestation Is Real (And Yes, Money Is OK)
The book dives into manifestation with gusto, encouraging readers to align their thoughts and energy with what they want in life. And here’s the kicker: Sincero says it’s perfectly okay to want money. More than okay.
She redefines how we approach abundance, reminding us that wealth can be a tool for freedom, adventure, and making big dreams happen. I couldn’t agree more. To me, money is more than just a tool. It’s a scorecard, a resource, a way to level up myself and the people around me. You should want more of it! Isn’t that how the game is scored?
Stop Playing Victim in Your Own Story
Sincero cuts through excuses like a hot knife through butter. She straight-up calls out the victim mentality and reminds you that every choice you make shapes your life. The question she asks you is this: Are your choices moving you toward your goals or further away from them?
Yeah, it stings a bit. But it’s the kind of sting that gets you moving. It’s tough love, Jen is a master at it, and it works! Sincero says you need to have spiritual swagger. And I say HELL YEAH to that! If you don’t have some soul, some drive, some higher-level belief in what you’re doing, then why the heck are you even getting out of bed?
Attitude matters. Mindset matters. Swagger matters.
Why You Must Read This Book
Sincero writes like she’s having a direct conversation with you. Her humor and punchy delivery make heavy topics like self-sabotage and mindset shifts feel accessible and even fun. But don’t be fooled! This book doesn’t skimp on the deep work it demands of its readers.
The beauty of You Are A Badass lies in its blend of soul-searching and action-taking. It encourages you to dream unapologetically big but also challenges you to step up and work for it. After all, no one’s going to force your badassery out of you. No my friends, you’ve got to claim it yourself!
