Summary

Brutally honest, often hilarious, hard-won lessons in learning to love and care for yourself from a former vice president at Comedy Central.

By the time she was in her late twenties, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame, owing in large part to her minimally parented upbringing. She realized she'd hit rock bottom when she drunk-dialed her therapist pleading for help.

Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara's path to re-parenting herself and becoming a 'ninja of self-love'. Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body and relationships, and shows how to:

  • fake gratitude until you actually feel gratitude
  • excavate your emotional wounds and heal them with kindness
  • identify your self-limiting beliefs, kick them to the curb, and start living a life you choose
  • silence your inner frenemy and shield yourself from self-criticism
  • carve out time each morning to start your day empowered, inspired, and ready to rule
  • create a life you truly, totally f--king LOVE

This is the audiobook Tara wished someone had given her and it is the audiobook many of us desperately need: a candid, hysterical, addictively readable, practical guide to growing up (no matter where you are in life) and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it's-so-cheesy way.

I am enjoying the content, it's relatable, but

I'm enjoying this so far, about half way through. My childhood wasn't perfect either and I was scarred by it, a totally different sh1tsh0w, but I'm finding the damage that Tara's childhood left on her very relatable..

Tara's voice is awful though, Sorry. I really like her, but omg her voice. I'm not talking about her accent, that's normal. But I think I understand what is meant by vocal fry now. She talks from her throat. I wonder if she tried to avoid this in the second book? I am Irish not American though so perhaps American listeners aren't as put off by this.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
