You Do You

How to Be Who You Are and Use What You’ve Got to Get What You Want

By: Sarah Knight

Narrated by: Sarah Knight

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck and Get Your Sh*t Together comes more straight talk about how to stand up for who you are and what you really want, need, and deserve -- showing when it's okay to be selfish, why it's pointless to be perfect, and how to be "difficult."

Being yourself should be easy, yet too many of us struggle to live on other people's terms instead of our own. Rather than feeling large and in charge, we feel little and belittled.

Sound familiar? Bestselling "anti-guru" Sarah Knight has three simple words for you: YOU DO YOU.

It's time to start putting your happiness first -- and stop letting other people tell you what to do, how to do it, or why it can't be done. And don't panic! You can do it without losing friends and alienating people. Knight delivers her trademark no-bullsh*t advice about:

The Tyranny of "Just Because" The social contract and how to amend it Turning "flaws" into strengths -- aka "mental redecorating" Why it's not your job to be nice Letting your freak flag fly How to take risks, silence the doubters, and prove the haters wrong

Praise for Sarah Knight: "Genius." -- Cosmopolitan "Self-help to swear by." -- The Boston Globe "Hilarious... truly practical." -- Booklist

Typical life advice but with cursing

The author's "no bulls*t" advice is simply that she's cursing while giving advice and making it sound more dramatic than it actually is. For example, she gives the advice to be selfish - but with the caveat that you shouldn't hurt others in getting what you want. This is the same advice of "taking care of yourself first" expressed by so many others. This book is more for young adults who are just bumping into life obstacles and find the sample responses helpful.

So-so: Not as good as Get Your Shit Together

I struggled to finish this one. It was okay, but nothing profound. Get Your Shit Together was much better and more helpful.

Good listen

not much new info for me but presented differently so good reinforcement and helpful for someone new to the concepts

Great book!

I loved this self-help book! Very poetic and entertaining. Awesome! The points made were so helpful and relieving. Super insightful. Highly recommend!

Worth Every Penny!

Sarah Knight presents old and new ideas in a funny and witty way!!! I loved that the book and each chapter was long enough to present each idea without dragging on.

If you're looking for a reminder or confidence on how to be you, this is for you!

It's not very often I laugh out loud from a book, and I can't even count the number of times it happened w hole listening to this book.
