About this listen
The CrossFit superstar and author of the best-selling The Badass Body Diet is back with a day-by-day guide designed to encourage habit change through fun, dynamic daily tasks challenging your mind, body, and spirit.
Christmas Abbott knows the importance of a badass lifestyle - physically, mentally, and spiritually. The key is balance: using essential daily practices for the mind, body, and soul. The Badass Life is her monthlong program based on building positive daily habits, to help you achieve a higher quality of life and a heightened sense of self-worth.
It takes 30 days to break a bad habit and 30 days to create a good one. Christmas provides a daily challenge for your mental, physical, and spiritual awareness to help you develop positive thinking and successful behavior and boost your brainpower. Each day is centered around a specific "action theme", such as "Eliminate Excuses", "Lean on Mentors", and "Feel Sexy, Be Sexy". Christmas shows you how to create a better blueprint for your daily habits to maximize their beneficial effects and includes suggestions for healthy eating, fun puzzles, life questions, and brain teasers to get you thinking in new directions. Christmas also emphasizes the need for daily spiritual wellness and gives you ideas for practicing intended acts of connection, such as helping a complete stranger unconditionally, setting specific intentions, and recording what you appreciate about yourself.
No matter your level of health well-being, The Badass Life will help you channel the power of the mind-body-spirit connection to become your best self in every way.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again - our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears.

It’s no wonder you can’t calm down: your to-do list is as long as your arm, your bank balance keeps dropping, you feel guilty for not calling your parents more often and there always seems to be a big deadline to meet at work. You need a serious breather - but you can barely find time to shower, let alone to exercise or meditate.

Does it feel like your life is too busy, your days are too short, and you're feeling overworked, overstressed, and overtired? Chances are you’ve asked your doctor for help, only to be told that it’s because of your age, or your workload, or, worse, that it’s just “normal.” If so, you’re not alone. Women of all ages are suffering from an epidemic of fatigue and burnout. But exhaustion doesn’t have to be your new normal.

What a Kick ass book.
This book was very inspirational and motivational! It hits every staple on how to achieve the “badass” life we all so desperately want and deserve! As well as so many helpful lists, tips, charts, and journal topics! Hands down this was a great one for me! Especially in this very hard few years I have been going though. I believe this is a must read for all women of all ages! It’s helps build confidence and gives you all the resources to do so.

Not what I expected
Narrator sounds like a robot. Enjoyed the author’s narrating at beginning much more. A lot of the topics and points are valuable but for a younger adult. I am closer to 40 and a lot of these lessons would have been useful in early 20’s. Good book for this crowd, but not older adults. A little mundane.

Content made up for narration
I really enjoyed this book. I finished it after listening to Girl, Wash Your Face and The Universe Has Your Back. Of the 3, I preferred The Badass Life content the best. It is true, of other reviews, that it would be extremely better had the author narrated it herself, but content filled that void, for me, personally. Christmas is a badass and I found this book to be badass as well.

Best book I have read in a long time...
Would you consider the audio edition of The Badass Life to be better than the print version?
Audio is good as a supplement to book. Book has spots to work on the process.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Badass Life?
When I realized that I can be a bad ass even though I am 64 years old.
What does Christmas Abbott and Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Christmas's personal experience and how she has lived the process.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Get ready to be a badass, for ages 10 to infinity.
