📘 Introduction Overview

In the opening of You Are a Badass, Jen Sincero makes it clear: this book is for anyone who's tired of playing small, sick of self-sabotage, and ready to finally live the life they know they're capable of — but can’t seem to reach.

💬 Tone and Purpose

Written in a witty, no-nonsense, conversational tone, Sincero blends life coaching wisdom, spiritual insight, and humorous storytelling to appeal to both skeptics and self-help junkies alike. The introduction disarms readers with honesty and encourages them to take an unflinching look at why they’re stuck — and more importantly, how they can get unstuck.

Quote from the intro:
"You are a badass. You were one when you came screaming onto this planet and you are one now."

🎯 Main Goals of the Book

1. To wake you up to your own power and potential.

2. To help you identify and overcome limiting beliefs and fears.

3. To teach you how to tap into the universal energy (aka “The Source” or “The Universe”) to manifest what you truly desire.

4. To inspire you to take bold, aligned action toward your dreams.

🔧 How the Book Is Structured

Jen divides the book into 27 short, digestible chapters, each filled with:

• Practical tips

• Motivational stories (often from her own life)

• Self-reflection exercises

• Spiritually grounded yet playful ideas (think: "get your energy in alignment" meets "don’t be a wimp")

🔑 Big Message of the Intro

You already have everything you need to create a badass life — what’s missing is your belief in yourself and the courage to act.

This book is here to help you:

• Get clarity

• Find confidence

• Live with purpose

• And, as the title says, stop doubting your greatness
