How Are You, Really?

Living Your Truth One Answer at a Time

De: Jenna Kutcher

Narrado por: Jenna Kutcher

Forget hustle harder. Forget a mandatory 5 a.m. wake-up. Forget outlining your life plan in six-month, one-year, and five-year spans. We're living in a cultural shift as we reframe our perspectives around the purpose of work, what work/life balance really means, and how we want to spend our time on this planet. In her first book, Jenna Kutcher—entrepreneur, photographer, influencer, teacher, mom, and host of the wildly popular Goal Digger podcast—shares her philosophy on how to live a life that exists outside the tired cliché of “having it all.” How Are You, Really? is about taking a moment to soak up the richness of our experiences and creating a life that makes room for more actual living.

When Jenna Kutcher was 23, she left her corporate job, bought a camera on Craigslist for $300, and started her own business as a wedding photographer. From that single investment in herself, she built a successful company, a thriving podcast, and a beautiful brand. But her driving force has never been about working harder/smarter/faster/better. What Jenna Kutcher embraces is the simple notion that we, women especially, crave lives of fulfillment.

Divided into three sections, How Are You, Really? is a guide to creating such a life.

In Part One: Who You Are, Jenna uses stories from her childhood, some career false starts, her marriage and path to motherhood, and more to show how to crystallize your sense of your own identity. Because how can you know what you really, truly want out of your future if you don’t see yourself clearly in the present? In Part Two: Who You Have, and Who Has You, Jenna shows the benefits of a support system, how mentorship and kindness can come in surprising ways and from surprising sources, and how to build your own authentic community. In Part Three: What You’re Going to Do About It, Jenna guides you through illustrations from her career on how to turn your deepest dream into a life that brings success, joy, and—most importantly--the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. We all want, simply put, a life well-lived.

So, ask yourself the question you’ve been avoiding.

How are you, really?

It’s time to find your answer, and start living.

If you've ever felt stuck in a rut, unsure of how to move forward and find happiness, this book is for you. Jenna Kutcher's powerful message of self-acceptance and empowerment will help you break free from limiting beliefs and start living the life you were meant to lead.

you have to make it past the first part

Overall, a great read. First few chapters very preachy and I almost returned. Then gold! she started telling stories of her life that were so relatable. I had NO idea who she was until I read the book, but so glad I kept with it.

Inspiring, fun, and heartfelt!

Thank you, Jenna Kutcher! I loved listening to your stories. So many wonderful words of wisdom combined with thoughtful action. I so appreciate you sharing from your heart, it feels like listening to my friend talking to me.

The Book from a Bestie I Didn't Know I Needed

This book comes at the perfect time, for me, for you, for us all. Jenna takes us on a journey like a BFF throughout her life with humor, humility, and honesty every step of the way. I love the integrations for our own lives - whether its our purpose, childhood experiences, turning trauma to treasures, and helping us all see that How Are You Really is how we set ourselves free.

That it is REALLY more than ok to be free to FEEL what we FEEL, not be ON all the time, and TRUST everything serves us. I LOVE how Jenna weaves FAITH, VULNERABILITY, and SHARES her deepest moments so we all start + GROW to be and do the same for others.

Whether it was her childhood precious memories reminding me of my own, her story with Drew + her children, creating + growing a business with viral moments + learning to let go + trust others, and BEING where she is now, I deeply related + felt a sense of PEACE around where I AM now. I love learning from Jenna, whether its on IG, Growth Day or now this incredible new book. I am already re-reading a second time.

LOVE the PDF + Bonus Courses on Her Site with Proof of Purchase too - make sure you use/get both!

Life changing book and a beautiful story!

I relate to her story and so many ways! Exactly what I needed to hear. Going to listen again!

Jenna keeps it real! You need to read this book!

I’ve been a fan and follower of Jenna for years and to see this dream of her’s finally realized, it gives me such hope for my dreams. This book is every bit the motivation you need to ask yourself the hard questions you need to break out of your self doubt and shimmy on your big girls pants. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Divine timing!

This book arrived at the perfect time in my life.

On my way to 50 I am in awe of the wisdom that Jenna shares. She has figured out more about life than a lot of people.

I learned more about myself in these words and am grateful!

Are you kidding me?! IN LOVE!!

I cannot tell you how freaking AMAZING this book is! This is the type of book you need to read a couple of times. Jenna becomes your soul sister, supporter, accountability partner and your biggest expander❤️. I wish everyone gave this book a read! The least that you can expect from reading this is a positive shift in your life.

PS: Jenna I freaking adore you! THANK YOU

Hopeful

I this has left me with some hope though a bit puzzled . My beliefs are as they have always been just very hard to apply all this in my own life . I don't know if Jenna has ever been without any support on this earth as I am .
