Number one New York Times best seller - more than three million copies sold.

Do you ever suspect that everyone else has life figured out and you don’t have a clue? If so, Rachel Hollis has something to tell you: that’s a lie.

If you have ever said any of these things to yourself...something else will make me happy; I’m not a good mom; I will never get past this; I am defined by my weight; I should be further along by now...then you could benefit from the unflinching faith and rock-hard tenacity Rachel Hollis has in store for you. In this challenging but conversational audiobook, Rachel exposes the 20 lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we’ve told ourselves so often we don’t even hear them anymore.

Rachel is real and talks about real issues. More than that, she reveals the specific practical strategies that helped her move past them. In the process, she encourages, entertains, and even kicks a little butt, all to convince you to do whatever it takes to get real and become the joyous, confident woman you were meant to be. Because you really can live with passion and hustle - and give yourself grace without giving up.

Worthy of reading and/or listening to again and again!
I’m not sure why or how I haven’t written a formal review of this AMAZING AND INSPIRING book despite me singing its praises for the last few months; despite watching Rachel speak live at Book Bonanza 2018. Perhaps it’s because I felt like I’ve already communicated and shouted from the rooftops and referred and sung to the world that this is a MUST READ BOOK. Correction: this is a MUST-LISTEN to book.But I can’t stop there. So, here’s me formally giving this work of awesome prose 5+++++ STARS.Rachel Hollis gives a stellar audio performance as she reads her own words. Words of encouragement and courage and empowerment. I can tell she genuinely believes in them from her tone and the sheer conviction in her voice. I can also feel the emotion as she shares some very painful, sad, and sometimes embarrassing moments from her own life. She uses them as examples to build an empathetic base; she knows the heartache, the hurt, the anger. It makes you relate. It made me relate.Yet what resonated with me was not only her advice of how she got through the hard times, but the self-assurances she tells herself and the way she addresses you: the listener or reader. Her words give no excuses. Rather, they lead you to forgive yourself, and accept past actions. To always move forward, even if it’s an inch. And if you fall down, she lends a hand/advice/mindset on how to get back up again.What I’ve learned in the last few months after listening, is that reinforcement is key. You can listen/read this book once and get on the high to do more, be more. But that quickly fades as life and other media settle back in.So what did I do?I listen. Again and again. I turn on a chapter as I’m driving, doing chores, or relaxing on the couch.Don’t have the Audio book?Follow Rachel on Instagram. She has a channel and daily posts that remind you of those positive messages to get your day and your headspace started on the right foot.All this being said, I realize a lot of the advice she gives are concepts I’ve heard before. What makes Rachel different is her. How she presents everything just speaks to me. She has a demeanor that I respect. Maybe it’s because I’ve been following her for several years now, watching her practice what she now preaches. Whatever the reason, it appears I’m not alone in such thinking. And I’m so very thankful as the world needs more spokespersons like her on the stage to constantly be our cheerleader amidst the overwhelming negativity.PS: Rachel if on the off-chance that you’re reading this, in the words of Colleen Hoover: “Push your boundaries, that's what they’re there for”. Thanks for that constant reminder ❤️

5.0 out of 5 stars This book can change your life if you let it!
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

Right from the beginning of the introduction it grabbed me!
“You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are.”
Guys how powerful is that?!?
So the basic premise of the book is Rachel addressing 20 lies that have been instrumental in her life. At the end of each chapter, she discusses three specific, tangible ways she addressed that lie. The overall goal is to teach you self-awareness to identify the lies you tell yourself and to target those head on. Although I did not identify with each and every lie during this season of my life, I got a little something out of every chapter. I can totally see myself re-reading this book once or twice a year and gaining something new every time.
At first I was afraid that because I don’t have children I wouldn’t get anything from the book, but that is totally not true! Yes, Rachel talks about her children and being a mother but that’s not what the book is about. This book came along at the perfect time in my life to slap me in the face and light a fire under my butt. Seriously, I needed motivation some kind of bad and this book was life changing for me. I also loved that Rachel dropped in little religious tidbits. It wasn’t necessarily a “Christian book” but had just enough in there to let me know Jesus sent this book my way.
Rachel is real and raw and in your face but at this season in my life that’s what I needed. Don’t pick it up if you’re passive about making some changes. Or maybe do pick it up and it’ll slap you around like it did me. Either way every woman needs this book whether you’re 18 or 80 there truly is something for everyone.
Top three things I learned from this book:
1. Stop making and keeping promises to everyone else and start keeping promises to your own dang self!
2. No one decides how big your dreams can be but YOU. Also write down your goals and speak them aloud
3. Gods has perfect timing.
4. Ok one more because I can’t narrow it down to three – EMBRACE THE CHAOS AND LOVE THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING, RIGHT NOW, TODAY!
I could sit here and quote this whole book because it’s that good but because I want you to go out and buy it for yourself, I’m going to leave you with some of my favorite quotes/advice/
“You must choose to be happy, grateful and fulfilled. If you make that choice every single day, regardless of where you are or what’s happening, you will be happy.”
“You are in charge of your own life, and there’s not one thing in it that you’re not allowing to be there.”
“Nobody – not a voice of authority, not your mama, not the foremost expert in your arena – gets to tell you how big your dreams can be. They can talk all they want…but you get to decide if you’re willing to listen to them”
“Your dream is worth fighting for, and while you’re not in control of what life throws at you, you are in control of the fight.”
“Nothing that lasts is accomplished quickly. Nobody’s entire legacy is based on a single moment, but rather the collection of one’s experiences. If you’re lucky, your legacy will be a lifetime in the making.”
“Pretty good is way better than trying to fake perfection any day of the week.”
“God has perfect timing. Maybe that goal wasn’t ever meant to be yours. Maybe you have to walk through this space that you’re in to be ready for that. Nothing is wasted. Every single moment is preparing you for the next.”
“Someone else’s opinion of you is none of your business.”
“Don’t hide your light under a bushel because you’re too afraid someone won’t like the glare.”
Okay I’m going to stop now because seriously there’s just too much good stuff in this book! Go pick it up for yourself! Borrow it from the library if you have to. Several chapters from the audiobook are listed on Rachel’s podcast, Rise, which is also awesome all by itself.

I first heard this as an audio tape... Read by the author. But let's back up...
A friend of mine on Facebook had asked if anyone was reading this, apparently it was new and she bought it and LOVED it, she wanted to see if anyone else was reading it and if someone wanted to discuss it with her as they went. I don't have the time for mini book clubs, but I figured that I do enjoy a good book, so I commented that if she recommended it so highly, I was going to look at it- everyone on that thread commented back to me that I "needed it," and how "wonderful" and "relatable" it was. Some time passed and I didn't have much time to sit down, but I ran across the free audiobook somewhere and was pleasantly surprised that Rachel Hollis reads it HERSELF. Not only did that make the book far more relatable because you could hear raw emotions, but it also made it to where I felt compelled to reference certain parts in the book. After I completed the audiobook the first time, I ordered the book, read it, and then listened to the audiobook again. This book is VERY well put together, and although I typically do not like 'fad reading material,' I found this book to be VERY compelling.
There's something about the text that makes it relatable, even for someone who has not gone through a situation... For those of us who HAVE gone through situations, this book discusses; relationships (failing and successful as well as growing), suicide, adoption, children, marriage, and so much more. A friend of mine talked to me about changes he saw in a family member, he told me his concerns and I told him that I felt this book would be helpful. I sent him a review I had seen on it, and he told me he was checking the local book store- I am certain that he forgot to get it for the family member, but I think this book would be very helpful for the young lady still. Honestly, for anyone who feels like they are in a low place, or even a medium place, this book is a great idea. I know there is a second book coming soon, I am undecided if I want to read that one at this point, but this book really lifted my spirits. I would recommend buying this, in fact, I may order it for another person I know who needs to be reminded that they are worth everything, on all days.

This was a gift to my mom and she loved it. We both read it together and it is an amazing read. It is not like you haven’t heard what Rachel wants to say before, but the way she sits it hits you at all the right places. She’s just serves all the harsh truths with such subtlety that you can do nothing but actually think about it. It’s not the motivation that she gives in the book but retrospection that takes places once you have finished reading. And that’s the sign of a good book.

Between the writer and the character of this book, I plump for the writer. It is one one of most interesting books than I have ever read. The protagonist break the rules in the good site so that many women can manage with real life. Needless to say that we never settle for less than we deserve. Hence, this book showed me with love and good advice.
