Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body, and relationships, and shows how to fake gratitude until you actually feel gratitude excavate your emotional wounds and heal them with kindness identify your self-limiting beliefs, kick them to the curb, and start living a life you choose silence your inner frenemy and shield yourself from self-criticism carve out time each morning to start your day empowered, inspired, and ready to rule create a life you truly, totally fcking LOVE This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book many of us desperately need: a candid, hysterical, addictively readable, practical guide to growing up (no matter where you are in life) and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it's-so-cheesy way.
