If you loved You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero
Readers who pick up You Are a Badass usually want a jolt. Sincero writes in a blunt, funny, profane voice that calls out the stories people tell themselves about money, love, and work. The book is practical rather than gentle: it asks readers to spot their self-sabotaging beliefs, then take concrete action anyway. Short chapters, conversational asides, and a no-nonsense pace make it easy to dip into and easy to keep going.
