Badass Habits: Cultivate the Awareness, Boundaries, and Daily Upgrades You Need to Make Them Stick

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 ocean fish eating, fur ejecting, outdoor feline that is slowly working his way towards being an inside cat is the Habit King. (By the way – I use the term outdoor cat loosely. He has 3 beds in a heated garage, plus a loft in the barn when he decides to actually go outside.)Tiggy has made a habit of eating afore mentioned fish in my laundry room at 5:00 AM by scratching the door down and howling in the garage until we let him in. He does this daily and will not be detoured by stomping, yelling, squirting, or any form of threat to make him go away. His persistence, his habit, has paid off. He gets fed in the laundry room every morning.His new habit is to finish breakfast, crawl up on my lap, curl his body into my blankie and happy feet his way to a blissful nap while I read and drink coffee. You see, Tiggy knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it with the tenacity of Jen Sincero teaching the rest of us how to practice Badassery to the fullest level. Tiggy learns by repetition as well as receiving attention – positive and even negative – and I think we do too, which Jen points out in many different ways in this book.I have fallen off the habit wagon and this book came just in time to kick me in the ass and stop running along side of said wagon. I am on day 3 of practicing 3 habits. Ambitious? Probably, but they are as important to me as ocean fish and my lap are to Tiggy, and that is what will make them stick.This book held some great reminders and it also offered some new things I hadn’t heard before.Jen Sincero has been kicking my ass for years, and if you have the courage to buy her books, she can kick yours too!

This book was exactly what I needed to read to get me back on track for what I want and need to do in my life. Uplifting as always, Jen Sincero knows how to write an engaging book on personal development. She says everything in a simple and easy to understand manner and gets to the point without too much fluff. Another great read from Jen Sincero.

Amazing! This book is like having coffee with your best friend. Great information and so relatable. A wonderful resource and inspiration to make a life change.

This was a good read. Although there was really nothing I didn’t already know, it was presented in a very readable way. Humor and insight along with the strong message of self-love, made it an uplifting journey!

The step by step break down on how habits are formed. Plus, the 21-day guide to starting a new habit and the daily reinforcement of saying my mantra is powerful. Thank you, Jen!

This is the perfect cap to her Badass series. I've read the original and the Money book and I feel like this one puts into action much of what she has shared in very tangible concrete ways. Even if you didn't read the first books--though I hope you do--the habits book gets you into action. I'm almost two weeks into my first new habit (getting out of bed without hitting the snooze) but the book has made me look at everything different: how I organize my time, how I plan my meals, you name it. Next, I will be using it to help me go back to working out and eating right. I love her style, humor, and candor. If you like her style, this one is a keeper--one you will easily refer back to and use for new "upgrades" or changes you want to make--once you are ready and decide to commit. With this book, I really felt like things are different this time around. Thank you, Jen!

Love this author and her books! And my only complaint is I wish she would write more books, since she really gives great advice!

A fun read and easy tips to follow. Highly recommend.

It's just fine excluding the paper quality.

Qualsiasi sia l’abitudine che state cercando di inserire nella vostra vita questo libro vi darà una mano nell’impresa.Scritto in un inglese super colloquiale, è come trovarsi con una amica per un caffè a colazione (il che rende ancora più facile seguire le indicazioni contenute).I capitoli (a eccezione del primo, introduttivo) sono molto brevi in modo da non avere scuse per non prendere in mano il libro ogni giorno.Un bel mix di lezioni di vita concrete e di piccoli accorgimenti che impattano davvero tanto su come affrontiamo i problemi di tutti i giorni. Consigliato!

Je trouve très agréables et drôles les livres de Jen Sincero (j en ai 3 autres, en VO-anglais donc; c est mieux, pour moi).J aime beaucoup leur ton et styles directs et naturels (suis comme ça).J ai pris la version Audible ainsi que celle papier.Je trouve que les exemples et conseils sont très pratiques.Du mieux assuré ! (Je pense même qu il est devenu mon préféré de Jen)

Nichts Neues aber gut zu lesen
