Book Review: How To Be A Bawse

Tweet

Canadian YouTuber (and soon-to-be North American late night talk show host) gives advise on how to be successful in a way only Lilly Singh (aka @!!superwoman!!) can. Her humour and voice are clear but definitive in giving advise in brief, colourful chapters. How to climb the ladder and knowing there is always going to be another ladder, to always be kind, to stick to your values and most importantly, you have to work for what you want. She explains how she made a cameo on Jimmy Fallon reading mean tweets to YouTubers, turn into a full-on guest appearance on his show. She took a page from Jimmy's book and was friendly and kind to everyone she met shaking hands and introducing herself - from directors, to make-up artists, to P.A.'s. Her friendliness shining through, one of those directors called her back in. At first when I was reading this book I found myself becoming a little depressed with nothing to strive for, but as I read on my motivation blossomed - not just to get to work on what I want to be successful at, but to be a friendly, kind person. You have nothing to lose in being kind to people. A definite must read. I think teenagers will learn a lot from this. Best to learn it before you're in it or just starting. Honestly, the things that should be taught in school.
