About this audiobook

Bestselling author, speaker, and world-traveling success coach Jen Sincero cuts through the din of the self-help genre with her own verbal meat cleaver in You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life. In this refreshingly blunt how-to guide, Sincero serves up twenty-seven bite-sized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, life-changing insights, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word. Via chapters such as "Your Brain Is Your Bitch," "Fear Is for Suckers" and "My Subconscious Made Me Do It," Sincero takes you on a wild joy ride to your own transformation, helping you create the money, relationships, career, and general all-around awesomeness you so desire. And should you be one of those people who dreads getting busted with a self-help book in your hands, fear not. Sincero, a former skeptic herself, delivers the goods minus the New Age cheese, giving even the snarkiest of poo-pooers exactly what they need to get out of their ruts and start kicking some ass. By the end of You Are a Badass, you will understand why you are how you are, how to love what you can't change, how to change what you don't love, and how to start living the kind of life you used to be jealous of.

Ratings and reviews

This audiobook made me feel worse about myself than I did before listening to her!! Saying things like, "If you don't want to make these changes in your life, you can just go back to your miserable, pathetic life". I feel like I just paid to listen to her drone on about herself for 5 hrs. Suffering through these unrelatable, purely narcissistic examples of her "turmoils", hoping there'll be a profound revelation on the other side. Well, let me save you the time and money...THERE IS NOT.

"The secret" with more cuss words. Author doesn't understand mental illness with her basic advice being to get over it and think positively so positive things will happen to you. The rest of the book is her telling us that we suck and how we should be more like her to not suck!

I was really engaged and inspired up until the author/narrator clamped on to "source energy" and "vibration". Up to that point, her writing was accessible and relatable as I applied it to my own life and experience. The sudden leap to "law of attraction" type stuff was too much for me.
