Publisher Description
A cut-through-the-crap guide to quitting the self-destructive habits that undermine happiness and success
“Fearlessly tells it like it is, offering its readers no-nonsense and insightful advice to help them get over their crap and wake up to their own brilliance.” ―Jen Sincero, bestselling author of You Are a Badass
How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t is a straight-shooting self-improvement guide for women, one that offers frank advice about the most common self-destructive behaviors women engage in. Andrea Owen—a nationally sought-after life coach—crystallizes what’s behind several invisible, undermining habits, from catastrophizing and people-pleasing to listening to the imposter complex or to one’s inner critic. Powerfully on the mark, the chapters are short and digestible, nicely bypassing weighty examinations in favor of punch points of awareness. Owen's book kicks women’s gears out of autopilot and empowers readers to create happier, more fulfilling lives.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If your brain were a car, which emotion would be in the driver’s seat? For too many women, the answer is shame…and we may not even realize it. Life coach Andrea Owen—whose podcast, Your Kick-Ass Life, is a must-listen—is here to explain how these feelings of inadequacy infiltrate women’s minds. (Hint: Ad agencies make a lot of money preying on our tendency to feel like we’re not good enough.) Owen offers a solid plan for recognizing our less-than-helpful thoughts and behaviors and doing something about them. Her exercises are designed to help you figure out how harmful emotions manifest themselves for you. (Are you a diehard people pleaser or someone who can’t stop planning for catastrophes that never happen?) These engaging activities are eye-opening all by themselves, but we especially appreciate her simple and effective daily practices for reversing negative thought patterns, such as identifying your core values and learning to reward the behaviors that reflect them. Owen’s buoyant personality—and fondness for casual swearing—shines through the audiobook. Who knew discovering and disarming your triggers would feel not just freeing, but fun?
