How to Be a Bawse

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the People’s Choice Award winner for Favorite YouTube Star and host of NBC’s A Little Late with Lilly Singh comes the definitive guide to being a bawse: a person who exudes confidence, hustles relentlessly, and smiles genuinely because he or she has fought through it all and made it out the other side. Lilly Singh isn’t just a superstar. She’s Superwoman—which is also the name of her wildly popular YouTube channel. Funny, smart, and insightful, the actress and comedian covers topics ranging from relationships to career choices to everyday annoyances. It’s no wonder she’s garnered more than a billion views. But Lilly didn’t get to the top by being lucky—she had to work for it. Hard. Now Lilly wants to share the lessons she learned while taking the world by storm, and the tools she used to do it. How to Be a Bawse is the definitive guide to conquering life. Make no mistake, there are no shortcuts to success, personal or professional. World domination requires real effort, dedication, and determination. Just consider Lilly a personal trainer for your life—with fifty rules to get you in the game, including • Let Go of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Temptation will try to steer you away from your goals.

People will go out of their way to help and support you because you make them feel good. • Schedule Inspiration: Lack of motivation isn’t permanent or a sign of weakness.

This book is a must-have for the hustler in all of us.”—Sophia Amoruso, founder and CEO, Girlboss

Easy to read but irritating at times. Maybe irritating because I've never heard of Singh before and I can't picture the inflections and personality of her words. I will watch her YouTube videos after I read this because now I'm just trying to focus on finishing it. Her words are helpful but I can't help being a bit cynical that she wrote a self-help book as a non-expert and psuedocelebrity. (After reading this she is apparently quite famous but no one I've asked has heard of her) As a literal boss at my last job, I did the things she named in the book. So I agree that those behaviors make you a "bawse". She's not wrong. I just feel like who is this person explaining this stuff to me? What is the woman definition of mansplaining? Some chapters were more helpful than others which is why I can't completely disregard this book. Like all self-help books, different parts are helpful to different people. Some exercises were thought provoking and helpful. The jokes were funny in theory but didn't actually make me laugh. The pictures in between chapters were pretty. My favorite part was when she was honest about her struggle with depression and how she fought it. Everything else felt like fluff. Because I got some helpful exercises and respected some one liners, this books gets a solid 3.5 stars. Maybe I will upgrade after I watch her videos?

I think everyone should read this book. This is uplifting and inspiring and has given me a new perspective on life. 
5/5 loved it. Gives acknowledgments to energy drinks and buttery popcorn. Yes Queen and spanx. Queen.

I love Lily's videos and thought I'd give her book a chance. It was good but I couldn't really relate to the things she was talking about. Maybe when I'm older I'll reread this but for now it earned a 3 stars.

Divertido, dinamico y honesto. Buena ética de trabajo, super realistas sus recomendaciones, me recuerdan al libro de Sophia Amoruso, ”Girlboss”, que también es super con los pies en la tierra. Mezcla lo biográfico, con una serie de recomendaciones, lo que ayuda al dinamismo y a que sea mas divertido.

           3.5 stars.
A refreshing, quick shot of goodness and self-love. I didn't learn anything new, but this book was a great reminder of important guideline about self-development, relationship, self-esteem, ...
A great audiobook to listen again and again.

This is a gentle mixture between a memoir, where we get to see a little bit more of the woman behind the Youtube sensation Superwoman, and a well thought out self-help book. I would recommend getting the audiobook as well, Lilly Singh being her quirky self while reading the book was just the cherry on top, I also loved the hardcover with all the photos and quotes, and you could see all her hard work come to life. 
With Lilly’s unique personality, I have to say she got me all riled up and ready to make changes in my own life. At the end of each chapter, there are a couple of steps that you can follow to help you improve yourself. I am not saying this will be the case with everyone, but she does help you reflect on this, and plant that seed that will help you make the relevant changes in your life. 
The photo’s inside and the way that it is laid out is really stunning.
I will definitely read this one again, to go deeper into all the tasks she sets out for you.
