Michel's Reviews > You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

I think there are lots of books like this on the market. When I was younger, I read some. Always found that they were nothing but hot air.

Judging by your opinions here you may like A Little Work Never Killed Anyone; it’s free for 5 days starting 14 October on Amazon. Enjoy!

Thanks for the info. But I just looked up the book on Amazon. It is still listed at $ 4.99.

lol

It depends on the person's definition of 'desire'and 'wants'. For some people, they mean the same thing. for others, they are different.

Face palm!

Do you a fully read books or just give them all 1 star. Cause the book is so much more than that. And I desire to be a nurse but if I'm not truly wanting it and doing things to make it happen then It's not going to happen. Maybe you need to actually read the book.

@Jason Ong Wicky ""When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"Desire" means to want something; they don't mean different things. Look up their definitions. If Lindsey isn't truly wanting to be a nurse, then she doesn't desire it, either.

Good point Lindsey! This book was so much more.

Wtf 😂

It may be diffcult to understand Jen's writing nuances if you yourself are emotionally constipated and/or lack a vibrant personality.

I appreciated the humor and the wisdom. Also. This wasn’t all pie in the sky, you have to have faith and love yourself, but you also have to do the work.

Yes..🙃 it takes desire and will. Mentally and physically we must want it. Its disappointing that you failed to understand but I very much enjoyed this book. Will be reading her others. Happy Reads 🤞🏾❤️

Seriously....it was ridiculous. Manifest. Tell the universe? Ugh.

прикольная книга

Ah manifesting and telling a completely indifferent and mostly empty universe what you want/need. Does this align the atoms the way you want them to?

Does this book mention any obstacles like poverty, skin colour, where you live, kids, exhaustion, lack of resources, disability (including crippling fatigue and cognitive disability), government interference (often related to disability or being on social assistance), banks, loans, raising a family with a full time job interfering with trying to better yourself via schooling... there is probably much more but that’s what I could think of right now. I’ve experienced several of these obstacles myself, and so have my family and friends.

You cannot know anyone’s circumstances as well as they do (within reason). There is no way to find energy, money and time that isn’t there. Childcare is expensive, school beyond grade 12 (unless you went to private school, which I find nauseating. You have to pay for a proper education because the free one is just that bad? Ugh.), university, finding job experience (often unpaid internships). It’s a long line of obstacles that those without connections and money don’t get a chance at. Unpaid internship plus a job; burnout anyone?

I know I’m ranting and probably preaching to the choir, but I’ve seen so many people optimistically try this crap and feel guilty and/or at fault for it not working. Plus, often a lot of money is put out to try these new “businesses” (pyramid schemes) with so much hope. It’s sad.

e the plague.

I think you’re perfectly entitled to your own opinion and to rate this book one star, but I don’t find anything inherently wrong with this sentence. Maybe with context, but just by seeing this review I’m not catching what’s wrong.

You quoted it wrong. She said, “it’s not enough to want something you have to DECIDE it’s yours/ you.”
Big difference.

I'm in love with ur name MICHEL 🥺💞

Now get out there and go get it!

what the alas? backeth in mine own day, desire and wanteth meantst the same thing
