This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass includes a summary of the book, review, analysis & key takeaways, and a detailed "About the Author" section. You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero is a loose set of instructions about how to be happy. There was a time when Sincero felt dissatisfied with her choices and her financial situation, but she managed to turn things around by examining different areas of her life with an open mind. She knows that you can, too. There's one prerequisite: belief. You need to sincerely believe that you have the power to change everything in your life with positive thoughts. You must also believe in God. This God doesn't need to be a formal religious figure; in fact, Sincero prefers to think of God using the vague spiritual term "Source Energy." To access Source Energy, you must think positive thoughts. Good thoughts attract good things; negative thoughts accomplish exactly the opposite.
