The chorus of shoulds is loud. You should enjoy the moment, dream big, have it all, get up before the sun, track your water consumption, go on date nights, and be the best. Or maybe you should ignore what people think, live on dry shampoo, be a negligent PTA mom, have a dirty house, and claim your hot mess like a badge of honor.

Kendra Adachi, the creator of the Lazy Genius movement, invites you to live well by your own definition and equips you to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesnt. Everything from your morning routine to napping without guilt falls into place with Kendras thirteen Lazy Genius principles, including: 
 
Decide once
Start small
Ask the Magic Question
Go in the right order
Schedule rest
 
Discover a better way to approach your relationships, work, and piles of mail. Be who you are without the complication of everyone elses shoulds. Do what matters, skip the rest, and be a person again.

I have never felt so seen by a self-help book.

I’m not a huge fan of the self-help genre. I almost didn’t read this one because the title seemed a little cheesy at first. But oh, my goodness, I felt this—all of it—on a deep personal level. The author’s voice and struggles resonated so directly with me that it was almost scary. And I came away from the read with several actionable principles and ideas to try to improve different areas of my life and home. I highly recommend this one. ( )

This book really resonated with me! I am definitely the kind of person always chasing systems and products to “optimize” my life. This book was a good reminder to “embrace what matters and ditch what doesn’t.” It was also a nice reminder that I’ve grown because I’ve already adopted some of the principles of this book.

As always with self-help, you take what you like and leave the rest. This book had a little more Christian stuff than I expected, but that’s part of the author’s genuine experience and it wasn’t hard to set aside. I am a new mom, so I appreciated the case studies about parenting, but non-parents would likely not find it as relevant.

It was a quick and easy read with digestible sections and small action steps in each chapter. I definitely recommend this if you’re a self-help fan or are looking for a little reset. ( )

I’ve heard about his book for a few years, listened to the author guest on shows and listened to a couple of her podcasts. I decided to take a look even though I don’t think it applies to my “season” of life. After reading it and now reading her next book, I told my daughter…we could have written this! Except of course we couldn’t. We are not talented writers with a sense of humor and a dynamic way of organizing all the tips for living that Adachi has done. Thank you Kendra for your skills. So I can’t say I “learned new things…having lived a life, I had discovered most of her tips through the school of hard knocks and gradually handed them over to my daughter to add to her stash of ways to make life easier. I am thankful that Adachi took the time and the talent to turn these into a readable text that was lighthearted, but seriously helpful. I was surprised that she chose to bring her belief system into one of the chapters, but she left it there---not preachy. It is pretty focused on families with children. I think this book would make a great gift for a baby shower. ( )

There is definitely an audience for a book like this, but unfortunately that audience is not me. A lot of these tips assume that you are an overscheduled, slightly neurotic suburban mom who is choosing to be that way (versus that way because of outside factors like multiple jobs, special needs kids, or balancing work and school). If you don't see yourself in at least the first half of that description I don't think this book is going to speak to you. I'm disappointed I didn't like this more because I really like Kendra's Instagram presence and the handful of podcasts I've listened to, but most of the examples in this book felt either irrelevant or really, really obvious to me. That said, if you do see yourself in the description of her target audience, I suspect this might be right up your alley. ( )

This book came so highly rated (on good reads). Kendra comes off as amateur in a good way. The footnotes in the book are not citing some fancy double blind studies. It's just a woman speaking from her heart giving the best advice she has.

I'll remember this book for "batching" your tasks (or sub-tasks) for more efficiency.

And also for inviting people over even your cooking or cleaning skills are not instagram-worthy. You're worthy any way.

And also, kinda woke me up that I'm really bad at resting. ( )
