Summary

"An honest, funny, and inspiring primer on learning to 'come home' to your truest and happiest self from the New York Times bestselling author of How to Be a Bawse. With the signature blend of vulnerability, wisdom, and humor that has endeared her to millions of fans, Lilly Singh offers a fresh take on how to feel fulfilled and find happiness in the face of life's challenges. Everyone knows that sometimes, life just sucks--Lilly's new book is here to provide a safe space where readers can learn how to create a sense of peace within themselves independent of external markers of success. Chatty and profound, spunky and real as hell, Singh is the perfect confidant, pep-talk-giver, and deep diver into how meditation, self-acceptance, our relationships and true gratitude can improve our lives. Without sugarcoating what it's like to face adversity--including Lilly's intensely personal struggles with identity, success, and self-doubt--this book teaches readers to 'unsubscribe' from cookie-cutter ideals and to let go of societal expectations for what success looks like. Lilly instructs her readers to 'be a triangle:' you must build a solid foundation for your life, one that can be built upon, but never fundamentally changed or destroyed. As Lilly puts it, we must always find a way to come home to ourselves -- 'we must create a place, a set of beliefs, a simple set of priorities to come back to should life lead us astray, which it will.' Like a wise, empathetic friend who always keeps you honest, Lilly pushes you to adjust your mindset and change the conversations you have with yourself. The result is a deeply humane, entertaining, and uplifting guide to befriending yourself and becoming a true 'miracle for the world.'"--
