If you ever wondered why it’s just so damn hard to turn your back on one, or two—or all—of the seven deadly sins, consider this: these supposedly deadly urges that the goody-goody doctrines we grew up with have warned us about are actually our truest natures—the main drives that actually keep us moving forward. Therefore, telling yourself to not feel them is like putting your life in manacles and chains, keeping yourself from achieving the limits of your potential happiness. And you wonder why b More...

Great book for those that need a little inspiration in their lives. This book mainly spoke to me career-wise. Like her other books, this book is all about reinstating things that we already know, but Karen puts these old adages into a fun, modern and witty way. It's such a fast read that you can read it over and over...it never gets trite.

This book was not as good as the two previous books, How to Be Happy Dammit! and Enough Dammit! I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.

The idea behind this book is that the seven deadly sins can actually be a path to inner fulfillment and help you get what you want. There are 7 other sins that are much deadly, among them worry and apathy, which rob us of our joy for living.

The book was as colorful and graphic and easy to read as the previous 2 installments, but didn't speak More...
