You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth

Jen Sincero. Viking, $25 (288p) ISBN 978-0-7352-2297-7

Sincero, a success coach and motivational speaker, follows up the bestselling You Are a Badass with this peppy, if slightly flaky, envision-yourself-rich guide. Sincero, a freelance writer who was perpetually broke well into her 40s, describes working hard to change her attitude and get past her mental blocks about money and her own ability to attract it, earn it, and keep it. She guides readers through a similar process of cultivating a mindset conducive to garnering wealth. Her self-help approach asks readers to believe in the kindness of the universe (or a higher power), cultivate self-honesty, visualize success, meditate, and repeat affirmations. Backed up with success stories from those who’ve taken her advice, Sincero counsels readers that the secret to success is inside them—and the universe is on their side. Her friendly, cheeky tone should appeal to existing fans and younger get-rich-quick seekers, though the visualization message feels a bit too dated to garner a whole new audience.
