Publisher's Summary
From the New York Times best-selling author of How to Be a Bawse comes an “insightful and charmingly funny” (Rupi Kaur) primer on learning to come home to your truest and happiest self.
“I love Lilly’s honest and helpful advice about achieving happiness.” (Mindy Kaling, number one New York Times best-selling author of Why Not Me?)
“It’s time to flip right side up. It’s time for this book title to make sense. It’s time to be a triangle.”
Everyone - even world-famous actress, author, and creator Lilly Singh - knows that sometimes life just sucks. In this book, Singh provides a safe space where listeners can learn how to create a sense of peace within themselves. Without sugarcoating what it’s like to face adversity - including acknowledging her own intensely personal struggles with identity, success, and self-doubt - Singh teaches listeners to “unsubscribe” from cookie-cutter ideals.
With her signature blend of vulnerability, insight, and humor, Singh instructs listeners to “be a triangle”, creating a solid foundation for your life, one that can be built upon but never fundamentally changed or destroyed. As she puts it, we must always find a way to come home to ourselves: “We must create a place, a system of beliefs, a simple set of priorities to come back to should life lead us astray, which it definitely will.”
Like a wise, empathetic friend who always keeps you honest, Singh pushes you to adjust your mindset and change your internal dialogue. The result is a deeply humane, entertaining, and uplifting guide to befriending yourself and becoming a true “miracle for the world”.

Authentic Vulnerability
I thoroughly enjoyed it. over the last decade, I've watched Lilly grow from YouTube to the international stage. I'm very happy for her and I learned new things to allow me to be OK with who I am today. Today's me might not serve me in tomorrow's circumstances. One step at a time.

Lifting
Lilly’s book falls nothing short of the truth. It has helped me see what life is really about and how we shouldn’t be held back by it. For years I have let fear run my life and was a prisoner in my own mind. Held back by the shackles of expectations and rules. Lilly’s book helped me open my perspective and see the true meaning of fulfillment through her wisdom and knowledge. I would like to acknowledge all of the hard work and determination she put into this book. If you are someone who wants to find your meaning in life I would recommend this book. It is a lovely creation and full of mindfulness and meditation to achieve the greatest version of yourself and your life. Thank You Lilly!

Not too deep
I work in mental health. Have done so in some capacity for 21 years. On the plus side, it is clear that the author is sincere and is passionate about her topic.
On the not-plus-side, if the reader does not have other points of reference in their lives that offer a clear sense of values, this book reads as a series of surface statements that might actually leave a person worse off - more isolated and languishing.

Good Read
Enjoyed listening to this in my egg chair swing on the patio with a coffee in hand. Great perspectives and loved listening to her eccentric personality.
Some amazing insights I really appreciated hearing about and resonated with.
Definitely Recommend.
