The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done by Kendra Adachi
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Waterbrook Multnomah for a free digital copy.
Kendra is one of my favorite internet voices. She is not someone preaching perfection, but someone telling us to name what matters and live our life the way we see fit.
“...Thankfully, that’s the gift of the Lazy Genius Way. You’re allowed to care. You’re allowed to know yourself and be yourself, to be real. You don’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to give up. You simply get to be you.”
What a gift for someone to write a book not telling us how, but helping us define our “whys” so we can develop our own “hows”. As a fellow enneagram 1, so many of the principles Kendra lays out are second nature to me, but having the words to frame the ideas for myself and present them to those in my life is a gift. She has so thoughtfully laid how to to think through life’s situations that her wisdom applies to every stage and season of life.
“You know your life and your personality far better than I do, and therefore you are the best person to know what you need...Trust yourself.”
This is the manual for living the life you want that you need. All other self help books need not apply. Kendra gives you the building blocks for naming what matters to you and making that happen in small achievable steps.
