About this book

Andrea Owen writes self help with no patience for the wellness industry's softer voice. How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t walks through fourteen specific patterns she sees over and over in her coaching practice. People-pleasing, perfectionism, comparing yourself to others, and the various flavors of self-criticism that women in particular have been trained into.

The chapters are short. Each one identifies a pattern, explains where it usually comes from, and lays out specific exercises for breaking it. Owen doesn't promise it will be quick.

The tone is direct. Owen swears when she means to, doesn't dress up hard truths, and writes like a friend who has been through it telling you what she figured out.

For readers who like Glennon Doyle's blunter mode, or who found Brené Brown helpful but want something more action-oriented, this fits. Worth reading with a notebook.
