"I was really excited about this book. I've read my share of witty, in your face, self help books before but this one does it all WRONG. The author's perspective is incredibly privileged and there's a point about mid way through where she says "if you're depressed, just act like someone who isn't depressed". While I do think the idea of manifesting what you want through positive thinking is great, this book isn't the first to suggest it. Overall the author seems out of touch, the books is potentially triggering, and I would not recommend it."

- I was really excited about this book. I've read my share of witty, in your face, self help books before but this one does it all WRONG. The author's perspective is incredibly privileged and there's a point about mid way through where she says "if you're depressed, just act like someone who isn't depressed". While I do think the idea of manifesting what you want through positive thinking is great, this book isn't the first to suggest it. Overall the author seems out of touch, the books is potentially triggering, and I would not recommend it.
- I have to commend Jen Sincero for putting her on spin on the whole LOA thing and making some money off it, or at least making some money off me. Because no one forced me to buy this book. Everything in this book, I PROMISE YOU, can be found for free on the internet, just without the sassy, pseudo punk-rocky demeanor that is really the selling point of this thing. Following one of the main points of this book, I take full responsibility for wasting time and money on reading this pile of hoo-hah.
- Hard to read. Writer has a condescending tone throughout. Tried to read book from different chapters and just could not read it. Have read dozens of self-help books during my life, but this one is not recommended.
- I wish I read more reviews before purchasing this, rather than just looking at the overall high rating. I made it about halfway through this book and could not continue on. The author is oblivious about many real life things, one of them being depression. She wrote, "If you're depressed, just act like someone who isn't depressed." How would a depressed person know what that is like? Depression is a real illness, like cancer. It like saying, "If you have chronically ill, just act like someone who isn't chronically ill".
Depression is something to be taken very seriously. Some people battle it their whole lives while others have to deal with it chronically, and some seasonally, but it is not the same as feeling sad for a bit. It concerns me even more deeply that this is a best selling book and people who read read may begin to believe that depression is an act or a choice or a 'story' as the author would call it. Our society truly does not understand this condition or support people who are suffering with it.
There are over 50,000+ books on helping people who have depression. This is not one of them. I absolutely do not recommend reading this book if you struggle with depression. I also do not recommend it in general as I gleaned nothing useful from the first half of the book. I'd return this if I could. - Anyone who has read other self-help books from authors likes, Louise Hay, Wayne Walter Deep Chopra, Echart Tolle, etc. and read the book Secret, you would feel many parts of the book content are almost literally copied from other self-help books.
- Complete waste of money. I was excited to read it after I heard a good review. Unfortunately, the author's tone was unbearable. Her comments about depression along with her abrasive attitude turned me off.
- Jen Sincero is a talented writer, and her edgy, irreverent style will be inspiring and motivational to many readers. If you've read other self help books then you probably won't find much that's new here. In fact, it's really the in-your-face tone and humor in her writing that makes this book worthwhile. As for her ideas, I personally found a lot to take issue with. First, she has a very polarized view of spiritual growth that divides our lives in to those that suck and those that are awesome. Maybe that works for young millennials just starting out in life, and if that's the audience she’s g oing for, then great, but most of us are somewhere on a continuum and her assertions that life is either this way or that way are simplistic to say the least. Sincero also uses a lot of highly critical, edgy language to describe people who are struggling or stuck - therefore not as awesome as she is - using words like "lame-o " "suck" "wuss" ...well, you get the idea. This may be mildly amusing the first time around, but it gets old fast and it's not exactly kind to those who may really be struggling. I have to confess that I question a writer who continually references her own life choices and personal career success as a model that the rest of us should follow. There is an exhibitionistic, narcissistic, "look at me", "look at how successful I am" dimension running through this book that is self-indulgent while lacking insight about what success could mean or look like for another person. Read this book for a quick shot of motivation if that's what you need, it's good for that, but look elsewhere for help in developing your own ideas and values about success and purpose. This is the Jen Sincero version and it may not apply to you.
