Wishlist | Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Ko-fiBadass Habits by Jen Sincero is truly a remarkable book! I was reading it as part of a month-long readalong with some amazing people, where we all were forming some badass habits. We even had Jen Sincero herself in our chat, as well as for a Live session on Instagram. Huge thank you to Tandem Collective and John Murray Press for organising this! Badass Habits “Our thoughts become our words, our words become our beliefs, our beliefs become...
I have a morning routine – a habit, if you will. I get up, take a pill, get some coffee, give the cat his ocean fish, make the bed, then sit in my chair with coffee and book in hand under a blankie and read until sevenish, when I then get up to exercise and start my day. While reading Jen’s new book, I started cataloguing the above habits as instructed, I looked in my lap and realized someone/something else in my life has habits and is in the process of creating a new habit as well. Tiggy. The o...
I continue to love anything by Jen. Going to buy this one and keep it handy.
Not the best book on habits. Not by a long shot!Jen Sincero, from the past, has had some things to say on money and motivation; the way she says them is something else. Half the time there is profanity, trying really hard to be silly and perhaps liked, but the opposite effect is had in this book where people are actually reading to change their bad habits or form good ones. It would be nice to have her take something serious (especially a book of this matter), instead of souping-up a book before...
I just don’t really want a mantra.
If you enjoy evidence based books, like Brene Brown, this isn’t the book for you. I don’t know why every habit book loves to talk about food. Probably because everyone who eats thinks they’re expert on food because they eat it. Regardless, her talk about habits and food aren’t evidence based and are completely wrong. Makes you think what else is she getting wrong? I only read 50% of the book and quit. I’d say about 25% of it is diet talk and 25% is “manifesting” things. I’ll give her credit on h...
Badass Habits is the first book about habits I've read, and I extremely glad to say that I've gained a lot of useful information from this book. To begin with, now I know why I always failed to stick to the new habits. I still focus on taking necessary action, but I don’t put on board emotionally and mentally. Furthermore, the author emphasizes keeping track of the progress that we've made so we can see how far we've come. This activity is so important as some habits take a while to produce the
I like Jen's first few books but this one feels like a real stretch. If you want a great book on habits read ATOMIC HABITS. This book is really more about boundaries and 21 days of suggestions or cheerleading to stick with your habits....not a lot of science here.
I read this as an audio book and may go back to the library for the e-book / print version as the 21-day challenge that it contains is probably more valuable via print rather than as audiobook. However, I still enjoyed this. It's a no-nonsense look at building good habits / removing bad habits from your life and really doesn't get bogged down in a bunch of extraneous stuff (like the allegories so popular now or even a bunch of long-winded examples). The examples used are short and to the point a...
Skimmed. Got nothing out of it.
I like evidence-based books (I gave The science of self-discipline five stars) and this book was basically just saying if you manifest it, it’ll happen. Plus most the habits she went over was just dieting. Lots of stuff that I don’t really find healthy like completely restricting foods that you like and saying no to absolutely everything, and weighing yourself every day and just stuff that isn’t very healthy, doesn’t promote a healthy relationship with food and shouldn’t be promoted. It’s writte...
This book was received as an ARC from PENGUIN GROUP Viking - Penguin Life in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.I absolutely love Jen Sincero's books and they have helped me a lot get through a lot of things in life. This one could not have come at the best time, I need to break some of my bad habits and Jen's approach is so brilliant that even the worst situations and the worst circumstances will conquer. I could not help but smil...
4.75/5 stars!“When it comes to building great habits and ditching lame ones, your commitment to staying focused on who you’re becoming regardless of where you are/who you are right now is the mightiest power you’ve got.”This book contains: mantras, small steps, 21 days, interviews, discipline, courage, self-love and a lot of humour.Jen Sincero’s books never disappoint me. So, how would I describe this book? If you read her other books, I would say this one is a little different. This book has mo...
