The No Bullshit Guide to Living Your Best Life

Book excerpt: Here's how the marketing experts want me to describe my book: The No Bullsh*t Guide to Living Your Best Life is a straightforward, no nonsense blueprint to personal growth and self-improvement. Using personal anecdotes, timeless quotes and a little self-deprecating humor, Myndee cuts straight through the fluff to give you the tools you need to live a better life. Despite the title, this book isn't filled with curse words, aside from the deliberate overuse of the word bullshit. Here's what I really want to tell you:This book isn't the only self-help book you'll ever need. It probably won't radically change your life. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.After carving a path out of the forest of self-loathing and into self-acceptance, I've wanted to do nothing more than help others forge their own way. I'm not going to try to impress you with all my accolades (and frankly, I don't have that many); I want you to trust me because I'm just like you. I read personal growth books. I still need self-help. But I've been through it all now, and I'm on the other side. Take my hand. Let me walk you out of this pain. I know the way because I've been here. I spent my life in these dark, dense woods. Writing this book was part of my journey out. You may not get out of your forest with this book, but reading it will lead you closer to the peace that lies ahead. I will only be one leg on your journey, and I'm honored to be here with you. I hope my words help ease the burden you carry.
