There can be a bad stigma surrounding self-help books. They’re often portrayed as corny or useless, but that can’t be farther from the truth. A lot of self-help books are really awesome. They can offer support through tough times, help give you the courage to ask for that well-deserved promotion, or even the boost of confidence you needed to leave your toxic relationship for good. Self-help books are all about self-love! If you’re looking to become the best version of yourself, these books could offer you some insight.
UNF**K YOURSELF
By Gary John Bishop
Need a real kick in the ass? Well, Bishop skips all the bullsh*t. He’s here to tell you the blatant truth about why you’re going nowhere in life, and how to simply “unf*** yourself”. If you’ve continued reading past these first few sentences, you can see this book is not for the easily offended. It teaches to quit the blame game and take action; to have a mindset of willingness rather than believing in the idea you are just procrastinating, lazy and unmotivated. Bishop gets it, everyone has problems and life isn’t easy. Ask Socrates. Life will never be but if you can learn to be relentless, you can achieve the unachievable and that is unf***ing yourself.

Sounds easy enough right? You probably think you already know these things, but let’s be real, if you did you wouldn’t be seeking a self-help book like this, now would you? Invest in yourself, say what you mean, have selective emotions. Being uncomfortable is key and with Singh’s written words full of color, exclamations, and capitalization you will learn to be a “Bawse.”
