I found the read to be thoroughly thought provoking and admire the self-reflection as part of the book. The author gives some great recommendations of methods to get yourself out of your own head and into some habits that will help you in the long run. I'm even reticent to use it on my Booktube channel because people are so touchy about cursing (you should see some of the comments I get to that effect). I love the idea of the book, and I love the general jist and points she make however the writing was a little too creative for me at times. All you're doing by going for the shock factor of cursing in the title is guaranteeing your book won't be reviewed anywhere because they can't say or print the title.

I'm loving this book, i was going through some emotional issues at the moment i bought it and it was so calming, funny and conforting, i wasn't familiar with the author but she definitely made an impact in my life. Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body, and relationships and hopes to help readers do the same.

Divorce, fights, your parents losing their jobs, fights with your boyfriend, you possibly losing your job, being too high, not knowing yourself, those were the things my life was made up of. The hilarious and relatable self-help/memoir tells the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a “ninja of self-love. It covers matters such as lessening negative self-talk, seizing opportunities, avoiding leaning on substances, best handling relationships, introducing an exercise program into your life - a wide variety of subjects, at least one of which is destined to speak to a problem that the reader faces.

Taking care of yourself through eating well, not muting our lives with drugs including alcohol, getting enough sleep, and nurturing relationships, makes for a much happier life.The second half of the book I didn't connect with at all; no one is ever going to convince me to go on HIKES and I've been in a stable relationship since I was seventeen so those chapters just.

That small, pleasurable thing that makes you feel like you are treating yourself – do not deprive yourself of this. With humor and compassion Tara takes you through some rough times and gives the reader some short cuts so they don’t have to go the long way. And I actually agree with a lot of the things the author says, like how when you have depression and anxiety but you also come from a background of privilege, you might actually feel a lot of guilt over being so depressed and anxious because you don't feel like you "deserve" to. Tara wrote a very honest and insightful book about coming from difficult beginnings and realizing that she didn’t have the knowledge or skills she needed in life so she set out to teach them to herself and learn how to be a functioning successful adult and develop the skill sets she needed.Personally, she lost me when she started talking about how much she loved journaling and the merits of positive psychology.

However, her language oscillates back and forth between well-crafted thoughts and internet abbreviations. It’s about self-love, showing up, and being present in the life you’re in, and I’m so glad to have gotten a copy. For example, Tara on one page says that the phrase Sunday funday is “excruciating” then refers to herself as “T-Money” more times than I could count.Not all of the advice and rituals are applicable to everyone in their current stage of life, but there is something for everyone somewhere within the pages.
