Bad Advice audiobook

This book is probably my favorite book of all time. It felt like I was talking to my best friend. I laughed, I cried, I was inspired. If you're looking to be inspired and laugh, you'll love this book. I noticed comments about her use of profanity and I truly believe those are sexist comments. There are books where F*ck is IN THE TITLE written by men and we don't scold them about their language. Anyway, I loved every word of it. Profanity and all.

Ok, read some of these reviews from other people. I don't get it, if you don't like profanity or an edgy style this is not your book anyway. I thought it was an amazing book with great insight and humor. Dr. V is know for her candid style and heart warming advice and this book does not disappoint. For you haters, go read Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and be bored to death. I could not recommend this book more highly!

TV therapist takes off the bangle bracelets and talks real shit about the insidious bad advice we grew up, breaking it down by the line item like a trash-talking friend pulling you away from the drain you're circling? Get into it.I recommend the audiobook.

[Bad Advice: How to Survive and Thrive in an Age of Bullshit - Venus Nicolino] Rating: Perfect 5.01/5.00I am in love with every part of this book, everyone! It is not just a typical self-help book that the readers can find on any bookshelf. Yet it is a masterpiece that breaks down the flaws of all the stereotypical pieces of advice we regularly receive while suggesting good pieces of advice that are useful and applicable for us. Ranging from honesty to happiness, Bad Advice touches on different aspects of the available situations and explains the bad and good sides of them in detail. Besides, it helps me feel fulfilled after finishing each chapter and motivates me to explore more. After all, I recommend 'Bad Advice' to people who aim to survive and thrive in this age of bullshit! Heck yes!#badadvice #venusnicolino #bookreview #selfdevelopment

This book is not for everyone. But, if you think you would like to have a therapist/mom type rant about the pitfalls of common specific phrases normally extolled as good advice all while trying to give you better advice and swearing up a storm, feel free to give it a try.For me, some parts were deeply motivating while other parts I flat out didn't agree with. I still think it was well worth the read (for me).I'm not sure exactly who this book may be best suited for. Perhaps those that detest 'Live, Laugh, Love' platitudes, have significant anxiety and/or depression, and don't mind the near-constant swearing.

This was funny in all the right places. Sometimes it seemed liked Dr. V was trying a little too hard to throw the work "f***" in at every turn (it's a fav of mine too, but I can read a sentence without it). I have a couple friends I would love to buy a copy for as it offers a lot of insight into ignoring bad advice and taking device that actually makes you better.

I already LOVE doctor V. But this made me so much more infatuated. The way she speaks is empowering, raw, and super informative. I feel like Im even thinking different already. I loved it so much I wrote a bunch of notes in my journal. (A bunch as in like 30 pages) Amazing book.

This is a great self-help book! It’s a fun read which will change your outlook on #BadAdvice you hear on a daily basis. Highly recommend this book to everyone.

Dr. V is my kind of dame. Truth, guts, humor, no bones about it. She is an expert in her field and isn't afraid to tell you the things you need to hear, but don't necessarily want to.

It changed my life with self realization and awaking awareness...

If you are a human in a modern world read this. It is the book everyone needs that they don't know they need.

This is a must read for anyone that wants to have a fresh outlook on life while being thoroughly entertained. I highly recommend this book!!

As far as self-help books go, unless they have a fairly heavy memoir slant with an open ended “this is how I got here and maybe my life lessons might help you” sort of theme (think Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert)— they’re not for me. I’m excited to hear about mistakes and receive honesty about roadblocks that exist so I can use those people’s stories to reflect on what I would’ve done in the same situation. This book though, is Dr. Venus (yes, that’s her name) rightfully tearing down, ripping up, and dismissing the bullshit clichés regularly doled out by society-at-large as well as well-intentioned friends and family. Both are absolutely maddening. For me, I know I chose a slightly less traditional path in life, professionally mostly, so my loved ones are trying their best based on “pearls of wisdom” they’ve heard — but our best really isn’t good enough, not as it relates to my personal struggles or for anyone else who ever felt like simply living, working, being is too hard and no one else around them seems to care about pressing back against the status quo.

Someone else's definition of who you are doesn't have to be your definition.There's no such thing as self help: Somebody wrote the book, taught the class, gave the speech: nobody gets through life alone.Trust yourself to change yourself.They keep selling it because we keep buying it.Don't collect red flags: take the first one as your cue to move on.We're on this planet to love each other; everything else is a distraction.Don't be afraid to ask for what you want, especially from yourself.There's absolutely no room for absolutes in a life as complex as yours.Your greatest potential self is your most vulnerable self.What matters is what your fear drives you to do.Decide you're more courageous than afraid.On the other side of every struggle waits a greater version of who you are now.Your life is the story where you choose to be the hero.Money is powerful, but it's not the only power you can access.The thing you're putting off could be the thing that changes everything.Live so that on your last day, you feel good about what you've done.Regularly contemplating death is a powerful tool to restore perspective and remember the things that make your life personally meaningful.Find some quiet and you'll hear everything.Clutter where you live will clutter how you think.
