Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again - our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First, he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce - and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So, we fight, to defend Earth and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.

Shook One chronicles his journey to beat back those fears and empowers you to no longer be held back from your potential.

And what should we do when we face these challenges? Or as psychotherapist Amy Morin asks, what should we avoid when we encounter adversity?

Story
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

The Empath's Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for empaths who want to develop coping skills in a high-stimulus world while embracing their gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.

Publisher's Summary
At age 35, Cami Walker was burdened by a battle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological condition that made it difficult for her to walk, work, or enjoy her life. Seeking a remedy for her depression after being hospitalized, she received an uncommon prescription from an African medicine woman: give to others for 29 days.
29 Gifts is the insightful story of the author's life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving and receiving. Many of Walker's gifts were simple - a phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By day 29, not only had Walker's health and happiness improved, but she had created a worldwide giving movement.
The book also includes personal essays from others whose lives changed for the better by giving, plus pages for the reader to record their own journey. More than a memoir, 29 Gifts offers inspiring lessons on how a simple daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.

Generosity, Grace, Gratitude As States Of Being!
I generally don't have much, but compared to the rest of the world? I am definitely a "Have". The only thing is, I suffer from chronic crippling depression, and that can sometimes make life and my outlook really, really bleak.
"29 Gifts" was a truly remarkable book that changed the way I maneuver my way through life and through the world. What starts as Cami's desperate way to change her illness, turns into a full-blown movement. Here you'll witness as she goes through euphoria when things start taking a turn for the better, her confusion when life STILL throws her curve balls and low points, and her complete determination to continue when no matter what, life, her spirit, changes for the absolute best.
Giving is about a mindful communion with other people, and I, as an Oblivious Git Extraordinaire, need that reminder that I'm not alone but am here on a planet filled with people just struggling to get along, people who need a kind word, a flower, a few bucks or a cup of coffee. You'll learn to give with joy, and you'll even learn how to give when you feel scarcity in your life (probably the MOST important time to give if ever there was one!).
What I liked best about the book is when Cami feels too freaked out by life and by scarcity to continue on the silly "giving" thing but does it anyway. What a gift to those of us listening to that struggle, living it.
But the most important thing is: Giving somehow, some way, brings us closer to our gratitude for all that life and the universe have bestowed upon us. Some of us have love, some have family and friends, some have security. Some have none of the above but may have the ability to look within and think: The universe has my back; and I'm worth it.
Keep in mind that the last hour or so is not the book, actually, but is a series of stories of people who are working the gifts into their lives and have seen wondrous results, felt wondrous sensations. Also, there's a website: 29gifts.org if you want to share.
I still have chronic depression, am still on meds, but now I look at the symptoms as ways to find the cure. Loneliness and worthlessness?
Give more, share more, tell people I love them more, and for heaven's sake: Be oh so thankful!!!

Not what it could be
I wanted to love this book but I can't.
What I love:
- Her description of her illness and what she believes are the causes.
- The idea that giving is an integral part of what we want our communities to be.
- Being a part of a team, showing that we all need a support network.
The items that make me have an extreme distaste:
- The narrator. I felt the narrator brought a tone of 'I'm better than you' to the text that I would not have read into the lines written on a page.
- Apparent lack of empathy. I wanted more of the 'I was overwhelmed and treated my husband horribly but he didn't deserve that terrible behavior.' I wanted her to feel his pain in losing the wife he thought he had. I wanted her to acknowledge that he has been awesome. I received the tension in the relationship but I didn't feel the compassionate healing that needed to come from true giving.
- An epilogue that is over an hour?
I love the idea of giving. I'm walking away from this book with a better idea of why we give and feel this will be the most valuable part. I'm rather disappointed and won't recommend this book to my friends.
I'm giving an overall of 3 stars because all a reader needs is to try is 29 days of giving without expecting anything in return.
I'm rating the narrator and story 1 star because I feel run over by negative emotions.
I can't finish this book because it lacks sensitivity and compassion, is read without authenticity or vulnerability, and does feel like bragging.

Not what you think it is.
I really thought this book was about how her life changed through the giving of these gifts. That is why I bought it. WRONG. It is about giving gifts BUT it also goes into her dealings of occultism. If I had known she was going to go there in her book I would have passed it up. The narrator did a good job so no complaints about her.

Mary Sue has MS
I should feel bad writing this, discovering that the author has passed on, but I'm a sticker for honesty. Being the same age and having the same disease as Walker should have had something in the book resonate within me, but no. It was a "white saviour" story, where the author is very pleased with herself for the tiniest of offerings she bestows in the "less fortunate". The author was painfully unaware of her elevated position in life, and much as she liked to refer to herself as a "writer", this blissful ignorance bled through everything she did. My favourite cringey passage described her "having a self-centred conversation with herself" during an addicts anonymous meeting. Not only was her prose incredibly clumsy, she acted as if the three dollars she put into the basket to fund the refreshments was amazing generosity and not a fortunate twist that allowed her to (gasp) not have to start from scratch in her give a gift a day goal. She completely ignored the stories her fellow addicts were sharing - but her daily mission had been saved, hooray!
All too often, the reality of incurable illness is more like her Cockney friend Ingrid's mother: a poor woman suffers through domestic violence, only to be handed the further blow of a diagnosis. Not everyone gets to surround themselves with New Age well wishers and get a book contract - they die in anonymity and agony, with no one even giving them a handful of seashells.
