Badass Habits by Jen Sincero is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast on social media.
Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again–our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears.
The book includes interviews with people who’ve successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspectives on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don’t serve us and developing the habits we deem most important.
