A follow-up to her wildly successful You Are A Badass, Sincero digs deeper in the self-help vault to unlock our problems with too often saying yes or no, or by just being our own worst control freaks. Her informal writing style, to borrow a Julie Andrews lyric, is 'the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine (advice) go down so well’.
Many of our behaviors are based on habits formed long ago, meaning since childhood. Sincero gives us forgiving solace that many of these we picked up as survival skills that are no longer needed in our adult lives. By studying our thoughts and subsequent feelings (which lead to the behaviors) and revamping who we want our one life to live identities to be, Sincero helps retrain our brains to be modulated to higher successes and happiness.
I will never forget how one simple chapter of her original book had me standing taller both literally and figuratively. This new ‘be your best manual’ feels as if she’s now strengthened my core. Fantastic for a positive 2021 kick off!
