8 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

You Are a Badass

  1. IDEA 1

    You are capable of more

    Sincero argues that many people underestimate their own abilities. She encourages readers to recognise their potential and stop accepting a life smaller than they want. Her tone is funny and blunt.

  2. IDEA 2

    Love yourself first

    Sincero argues that self-love is the foundation of change. People who accept and value themselves are more willing to take risks and pursue their goals. Self-criticism only holds people back.

  3. IDEA 3

    Old beliefs run quietly

    Sincero explains that beliefs formed in childhood often control behaviour without our awareness. Questioning these beliefs can free people to make new choices. Many of these beliefs are no longer useful.
