Overview

Brutally honest, often hilarious, hard-won lessons in learning to love and care for yourself from a former vice president at Comedy Central who was called "ahead of her time" by Jordan Peele

"You're going to want Tara Schuster to become your new best friend."--Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed

"Compelling, persuasive, and useful no matter where you are in your life."--Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me

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*cking LOVE

This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book 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.

  • Great Modern Self-Help Book!

    Holly P. - 5 years ago

    This book is basically a modern guide to self-care (actual self-care, not the stuff people pretend is self-care). As with any self-help book, I think it’s going to be great for some, and others would write it off as woo-woo. But, I loved this book! Tara puts her suggestions for fixing your life inside things that she’s experienced, so you get to see how the ritual helped her. Of course, not every single thing is going to be relatable or helpful for you, but I marked up so many things in the book to refer back to. There are several things from the book I've already added into my daily routine. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to add more self-care to their daily life. #SpringPicks

  • If you’re looking for a self help book that isn’t cheesy this is the one.

    Ashley C. - 5 years 7 months ago

    This book was relatable, funny & made me feel like I wasn’t the only one struggling. Love this book, it truly helped me change my mindset and made me want to work on myself!

  • Fantastic Read

    Megan W. - 5 years 11 months ago

    I really enjoyed the tone and style of this book. The point of the book is make changes in one’s life to have a more enjoyable life. Tara calls out readers when they need to be and this is acceptable because she has a deep understanding on why certain behaviours must be fixed. I read during the first week of quarantine and it helped pull me out of my pit of despair. Truly a wonderful read for young adults who are trying to figure themselves out.
