If you haven't heard about my virtual book club, you are missing out! Each month I pick a new personal development book, we all read it separately, and then on the first Monday of the following month we get together on a google hangout and discuss the book. It is so awesome that I can discuss some extremely impactful books with friends hundreds and even thousands of miles away.
The book for the month of April was You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. This has to be one of the best books I have ever read. Or I suppose listened to since I got the audio version on Audible. I usually prefer to read actual books, but I am so glad I got the audio version of this book - I have listened to it at least 5 or 6 times now. Whenever I am down or having a hard time or a bad day, I pop in the headphones for a bit and perk right up. As an added bonus, the audio is narrated by the author herself, so you really get to understand her tone and inflection which makes a difference!
You may be thinking, what is so badass about You Are a Badass? Well, frankly EVERYTHING! The author, a former skeptic, is so real about her experience with personal development and some of the wacky things she did to "find" herself. She is direct and RAW and so inspirational.
Chapter titles include gems such as "Your Brain is Your Bitch," "Fear is for Suckers" and "My Subconscious Made Me Do It," The author tells it like it to help you get out of your rut and start kicking some major 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.
Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
If you read only ONE book this year make sure you read You Are A Badass. You can purchase the book on Amazon:

Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was
more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
"To shy away from who you truly are would leave the world you-less.
You are the only you there is and ever will be."
“We are all perfect in our own, magnificent fucked-up ways ...
Rejoice in the cosmic ridiculousness.”
“[S]o often when we say we’re unqualified for something,
what we’re really saying is that we’re too scared to try it ...”
