When I bought the book "Lessons in Badassery", I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. What I got was a kick-ass book with some great life lessons, told with a fantastic casual style that overlays some serious messaging. Whilst I managed to read the whole thing cover to cover in one sitting, I'm keeping it by the bed so that I can dip in and out as and when I feel the need for a boost!

1.5/5
Notes:
Since it's all in your head, you have complete control.
If you can't master your thinking, you can't master anything.
"Shoulds" are preferences that are given too much weight.
Preferences are malleable.
When are you in your zone? What does your flow state look like?
Just stop right now and acknowledge one thing you know you can do, and next time you feel scared, overwhelmed, out of control, maybe hopeless, ask yourself if that thing that you know how to do can help.
