Publisher's Summary

Forget hustle harder. Forget a mandatory 5 a.m. wake-up. Forget outlining your life plan in six-month, one-year, and five-year spans. We're living in a cultural shift as we reframe our perspectives around the purpose of work, what work/life balance really means, and how we want to spend our time on this planet. In her first book, Jenna Kutcher—entrepreneur, photographer, influencer, teacher, mom, and host of the wildly popular Goal Digger podcast—shares her philosophy on how to live a life that exists outside the tired cliché of “having it all.” How Are You, Really? is about taking a moment to soak up the richness of our experiences and creating a life that makes room for more actual living.

When Jenna Kutcher was 23, she left her corporate job, bought a camera on Craigslist for $300, and started her own business as a wedding photographer. From that single investment in herself, she built a successful company, a thriving podcast, and a beautiful brand. But her driving force has never been about working harder/smarter/faster/better. What Jenna Kutcher embraces is the simple notion that we, women especially, crave lives of fulfillment.

Divided into three sections, How Are You, Really? is a guide to creating such a life.

In Part One: Who You Are, Jenna uses stories from her childhood, some career false starts, her marriage and path to motherhood, and more to show how to crystallize your sense of your own identity. Because how can you know what you really, truly want out of your future if you don’t see yourself clearly in the present? In Part Two: Who You Have, and Who Has You, Jenna shows the benefits of a support system, how mentorship and kindness can come in surprising ways and from surprising sources, and how to build your own authentic community. In Part Three: What You’re Going to Do About It, Jenna guides you through illustrations from her career on how to turn your deepest dream into a life that brings success, joy, and—most importantly--the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. We all want, simply put, a life well-lived.

So, ask yourself the question you’ve been avoiding.

How are you, really?

It’s time to find your answer, and start living.

If you've ever felt stuck in a rut, unsure of how to move forward and find happiness, this book is for you. Jenna Kutcher's powerful message of self-acceptance and empowerment will help you break free from limiting beliefs and start living the life you were meant to lead.

Such an amazing, and inspiring book!

I love this book so much I plan on listening to it a second time in the near future! I even bought the paperback as well. She is so down to earth, funny, smart, and has the greatest advice! I have learnt so much and my eyes opened about so many things which have helped me so much for my future and day to day living. Thank you!!

So Good!

Such an incredible book from beginning to end. Jenna is authentic, honest, down to earth & a huge inspiration. I listened daily, over the past week, and I feel a lot has shifted for the better already. I love her take on where the “woo meets the work”- a balanced approach on opening up the the wonder & magic of the universe while also reflecting on what matters most & showing up, to live a joyful & meaningful life. I am pumped to go back through more slowly to do the work. This book will likely lifelong be a lifelong companion for me. I highly recommend giving it a go!

Long Time Listener

I have been listening to Jenna’s podcast for over 3 years now, and while I was excited to hear she was coming out with a book — I was curious to see what she was going to share as she pours so much into the podcast.

But Jenna keeps giving, so many lovely stories and great pieces of advice. Like a big sister giving you a kick in the pants while being a warm hug at the same time.

After two years of uncertainty I feel a lot of us need this book to remind us to step out of our shells and dream bigger than ever before.

Excellent from start to finish!

My first official book review and I’ve listened to over 40 titles but this one I feel like I truly connected with and I think many people would. Great writing prompts and ways to bring conversation into your life.

A great listen

This book really gets you to think deeper about your day to day life and what matters in the grand scheme of things.. and not by social standards but by your own

Good listen overall

I liked this book overall; it was good to hear the author’s story, and her journey so far in her life. I appreciated the journal prompts at the end of each chapter. I found this book was more for entertainment, rather than hard, tangible practises to bring into your own life. But overall I really liked the book, especially the raw honesty.
