Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of How to be a Bawse by Lilly Singh, read by the author and Alicia Keys.

The official debut book from YouTube phenomenon Lilly Singh. Available for pre-order now.

From actress, comedian and YouTube sensation Lilly Singh (aka Superwoman) comes the definitive guide to being a BAWSE - a person who exudes confidence, reaches goals, gets hurt efficiently, and smiles genuinely because they've fought through it all and made it out the other side. 

Told in her hilarious, bold voice that's inspired over 9 million fans, and using stories from her own life to illustrate her message, Lilly proves that there are no shortcuts to success. 

WARNING: This book does NOT include hopeful thoughts, lucky charms, and cute quotes. That's because success, happiness and everything else you want in life needs to be fought for - not wished for. In Lilly's world, there are no escalators. Only stairs.

BAWSE

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This book was incredibly thought-provoking. There are a few chapters that I have bookmarked to come back to when they are needed. Such as Pause, Let go of FOMO, The Alphabet is a Lie and allllll of Part Four... I am at a place in my life where these particular parts of the book really related to me and what I am trying to work on and have given me a little extra confidence boost to keep growing and climbing those stairs.

Any additional comments?

It was amazing to be able to hear a little insight into what has made Lilly so successful and be able to relate and apply some of those things she's learnt to my own life. I don't want to give away too much of the book to anyone reading this review but you know when you hear things that feel like they are directed right at you? This is how I felt listening to this, I have both a hard copy of the physical book and the audiobook on my phone to make it easier when travelling and out somewhere when I need a little reminder. And I LOVE the fact I can listen to not only Lilly actually speak these words, but some of the bigger influences in her journey.
I love things that make me think of a deeper level and that challenge me in all the right ways. This was definitely one of those things.

Nawww Babes Unite!

How to be a Bawse is just what I needed for my soul, kinda like Jewish chicken soup for the soul. Being in a start up business and spending the last few year “hustling” hard it can become isolating and disheartening. Lilly you have raised my spirits to keep on hustling “like a bawse” and know that there will be ups and downs, thanks girl! Big love!

A lot of wisdom

I would've liked more anecdotes of Lillys life but I know she likes to keep things private. Great messages and life lessons

It should be a text book in high school !!!

I loved every word and sentence of this book and what I loved even more is the fact that Lilly has recited it just like in a YouTube video except even without having her stare at my face through my computer screen,she somehow made herself my bff and made her presence felt more than ever!!!! This is inspirational and actually true!! You go girl !! #girllove

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!

I've seen Lily on YouTube a few times but this book... I LOVE IT! Very funny and have helped me through very frustrating times. It's the kind of book that will motivate you but not annoy you. I feel like I'm actually friends with superwoman.💕💕💕

Incomparable listening experience 👌

The amazing experience you get as a listener of this book is a living proof of Lilly's hard work over it. I admire her wit, talent and wisdom.

Everything she does is executed in the most unusual, groundbreaking and professional way. Honestly, it is hard to not fall in love with the fruits of her labour!

amazing mostly but some parts lacking

I loved this book apart from her examples regarding her beliefs about god. i found it so offensive that she says god signed her permission slip. to believe that i feel is to believe god would favor her over others. however this is not so much a blight on her belief than that of many privileged religious people. if god signs her permission slip what the hell happened to all the others who didn't make it to the point where they can even have dreams to achieve. i listened to that chapter and took a week break. i do believe this book would even better if that chapter was ommited.
