About this listen

'So important' SARAH KNIGHT

"This is the only self-help book that will tell you to give up. Except . . . you don't need to give up, do you? Because you didn't start.

Me either."

Leena Norms is a half-arser. A shave-one-legger. A rinse-the-plates-and-tell-herself-any-residual-dirt-will-improve-her-immune-system-er. And yet, she is determined to live better, build a career, strengthen her relationships, be good to her body, sort out her wardrobe, find meaningful hobbies, act on her ethics, and live a full, passionate, varied life.

And it's possible. Half-Arse Human will show you to harness the power of considered chaos and upgrade the parts of your life that really matter, without expending more than you have to give. Trying to be superhuman is out - being a half-arse human is in. Find out why living a life of slap-dash isn't as shameful as it seems; in fact, it might be the key to living the life you've always wanted. In a world of high-flyers, let's at least get you in the air.©2024 Leena Norms (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

I have followed Leena online for a while and was watching her videos during the wrotong process.
This book remains us that becoming a better person is not always about giving every ounce of your engery and joy until you burnout. it's an act of grace to give even half of it and be in the world like that for the long hall. Brava Leena Norms.
