You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life is a self-help book by Jen Sincero that investigates the connection between the subconscious and conscious minds, and explains that the subconscious is incapable of critical analysis and, thus, accepts whatever it is told.

A persons subconscious beliefs and thought processes dictate a persons reality.

Because the subconscious accepts whatever it is told, the information and beliefs that are passed on to a child by parents, teachers, and guardians are accepted by the subconscious without any critical analysis. These beliefs and information shape a persons thoughts and, as a result, their reality. This is because the subconscious, and not the conscious mind, is in charge. Consequently, if a person wants to achieve a life of greatness, they need to uncover their subconscious beliefs and conscious thought processes, and analyze how these beliefs and thoughts could be sabotaging what that they truly want.

Finally, in order to achieve a life of greatness, a person must love themself. Not only this, but they must recognize that Source Energy, the all knowing, God-like existence, loves and wants to provide everything a person wants and needs. Additionally, everyone is connected to Source Energy because everyone and everything is made up of energy. Because each person is made up of energy, each person vibrates at a certain frequency. The higher a persons frequency, the better that persons reality. More importantly, this frequency is dictated by a persons thoughts. As a result, in order to live a life of greatness, a person needs to raise their frequency by manifesting what they want. This is accomplished by practicing positive thoughts, encouraging positive results, and connecting with Source Energy.

Jen Sincero: Sincero is a New York Times Bestselling author, who wrote You are a Badass to encourage others to embrace everything that The Universe has to offer. She also wrote the national Bestseller The Straight Girls Guide to Sleeping With Chicks, and Dont Sleep With Your Drummer [1].

Analysis

When a person is born, they are a blank slate in that they have not yet received messages and beliefs from others. However, as children grow, they receive messages from other people, the main source being their parents. These messages are accepted by the childs subconscious without critical analysis, even if the message is untrue. In order to live a life of greatness, these messages need to be evaluated.

While the unconscious mind is not fully understood, one widely accepted belief is that the unconscious mind is incredibly powerful [2]. For example, a child might experience their parents fighting over money constantly until the marriage ends in a divorce, leading the child to subconsciously equate money with broken relationships. As a result, that child may, as an adult, subconsciously sabotage their own efforts to make money because of what they experienced and because they subconsciously believe money is evil. Another example might be parents who pass on the message that homosexuality is bad. Their children may grow up with homosexual desires, but believe those desires are evil because of the message that they received as a child. As a result, that child may believe that there is something wrong with them, and this belief could hold them back.

Luckily, the subconscious is just below the conscious and, as such, subconscious thoughts can be called to the conscious mind. Because of this, a person can recall the messages that they received as a child and discover subconscious motivations. Then, that person can choose to address these thoughts and beliefs, and change them to better suit their true desires.

Everything is made up of energy. In order to live a great life, a person needs to develop a relationship with Source Energy and raise their frequency.

Analysis

The universe is composed of energy, which is everything within the universe. As such, everyone is connected to limitless power, and just needs to learn to tap into Source Energy, the central force similar to the idea of a religious god, to manifest a great life. Furthermore, because everyone is made up of energy, and all energy vibrates at a certain frequency, in order to attract that which is desired, a person needs to learn to vibrate on a similar frequency.

Science has shown that everything is made up of energy, and the energy that makes up a persons body is the same as the energy that makes up a house, a tree, a car, or even thoughts. Additionally, energy cannot be destroyed, but it can change shapes [3]. For example, when a person makes a fire, and burns a log, the energy of the log is not destroyed. It changes form to become heat. Simply put, everything is made up of energy, but it comes in diverse shapes, and is capable of changing from one form to another.

More importantly, energy attracts like energy [3]. In this way, everything is connected, and when a person sends out a thought, which is energy, that thought vibrates on a certain frequency. Furthermore, that thought interacts with the energy around it. Since energy comes in different forms and attracts like energy, if a person sends out thoughts that are positive, that will attract similar positive energy. Thus, if people want to live a great life, they need to acknowledge this connectedness, and work to improve their frequency.

How a person perceives themself will dictate that persons reality. Because a persons thoughts and beliefs dictate their reality, they must manifest the life that they want through their thoughts and perceptions.
