She has a hit show, bestselling books and just recently partnered with Beam Global for her Skinnygirl brand. Now Bethenny is venturing into the world of self-help with her most personal work to date, A PLACE OF YES: 10 RULES FOR GETTING EVERYTHING YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE. Anyone who has been watching Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES franchise has witnessed Bethenny’s stratospheric rise to fame.
The New York Times bestselling author of Naturally Thin and The Skinnygirl Dish, Bethenny Frankel takes us on an empowering journey to A PLACE OF YESBETHENNY FRANKEL’S no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is personality won over countless fans, and made her a nationally bestselling author and the star of her own hit Bravo show Bethenny Getting Married? Now Bethenny opens up and shares the obstacles she overcame and the great success she has enjoyed while discovering how to approach life from “A Place of Yes.” Bethenny’s path was not always clear as she overcame a difficult childhood, failed relationships, entrepreneurial efforts that never quite got off the ground, and lifelong money struggles. To deal with these challenges, Bethenny developed ten rules for pursuing her goals with authenticity and drive, including:
FIND YOUR TRUTH: Dig deep inside and figure out what is authentic for you, not anybody else.
ACT ON IT: You don’t have to have a master plan. But unless you do something, you’ve done nothing.
EVERYTHING’S YOUR BUSINESS: Treat every job, person, and experience as if it could lead to your next big opportunity.
OWN IT: If you do it, say it, think it—then own it. Stand up for yourself and fully acknowledge who you really are.
Each rule is illustrated with compelling, sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous examples that are pure Bethenny. It’s easy to say no, to say “I can’t,” to expect the worst, and to doubt yourself. But your life can be better than “not bad” or “good enough.” It can be amazing. And by putting Bethenny’s rules together, you can use them to be more successful, more fulfilled, healthier, and happier than ever before.
This is a straight-talking memoir/self-help book that will inspire you to shake off any baggage you may be carting around with you. Bethenny tells you right from the start that it’s time to face those obstacles and reach for the stars. If there is one thing that can be said about Bethenny Frankel, she has gumption. She gets knocked down and keeps on getting up, refusing to be a victim she perseveres through any and all obstacles and is truly a strong and driven woman. If you have ever read a book that falls in the self-help genre, you know that they can sometimes sound like they are pandering or talking down to you. Do you really need that when you are obviously in a low place, wanting desperately to be lifted up? To be inspired? To be motivated to DO something and to start making changes? No! Bethenny’s book is so different from these self-help staples in that she doesn’t sugar coat things but at the same time she also makes sure you know that even if mistakes are made or you had a bad childhood or lost a great job, anything is possible and things really can change for the better. We all wish that we woke up feeling great every single day of our lives, but this isn’t a reality. What is a reality is doing everything in your power to MAKE your day turn into the best day ever. It’s not about being happy all the time. It’s about striving for things that will make you happy. Essentially, you control your destiny because you control your mind and the way you approach your life.
Say “Yes” to your own life and get unstuck and start moving forward with vision and a plan and the guts to tackle any obstacle that gets in your way.
As Bethenny says about her life and yours, OWN IT!
