For January, I decided to read 2 books. One for educating myself and one for pure fictional escapism.
I started with 'You are a Badass' by Jen Sincero. It was recommended by Megan Hickman from the awesome YouTube channel 'Love Meg' who gives me inspiration and motivation.
I had high hopes for the book and all in all, I was not disappointed. This review will not be an in depth professional critique but a Mum and Business Owners' view on how it made me feel.
So to start with, the entire book is a mixture of 3 things; Jen's life experiences, a generalised view on what people typically say and do along with, of course, the Universe and how we connect with it. I have to say, for me personally, it was chapter 26 that really spoke to me and has had impact. The rest for me was irrelevant.
The entire build up to the last few chapters either bored me or I found far too spiritual. I do believe that this is due to my own personal experiences and others would have a completely different take on them - like any book really...it should speak to you personally. But then the last 2 chapters were the big bang moments for me. They have changed the way I think over the past 3 days since I finished the book - I wonder how long it will last - I'll keep you posted!
For me, I would give this book a 6/10. It was a struggle to persevere with but I am glad that I did for the few LAUGH OUT LOUD moments and the last 2 chapters. I WOULD recommend that everyone gives it a go though, as I expect that others may have more of an 'awakening' than me.
I bought it from Amazon for around £6.99 and I have created a link below for you:
I would love to know what you think as this book gets so many varied reviews! As much as the first chunk didn't impact on me, I do feel a little like I could do anything after the last bit....maybe it spoke to me more than I know!
See you Tomorrow Folks
