Be Bad, Better

Bag om Be Bad, Better

You do not have to be good.At some point, you'll have absorbed the message that being good is to be lovable, to belong and to be worthy. Wise and well-meaning people offer to help you become calm and positive, productive and efficient, tidy and mindful, and to always say 'yes, I can!' But what if this is wrong? And what if some of the things we've been told are bad, are just as useful as the good?Blending science, expert interviews and practical advice, here is an exploration of the flipside of everything we've been told we should be and do - and how they're not really so bad after all. You'll discover: - Why it's helpful to feel angry - How it's counterproductive to always be productive - Why mindlessness is good for your mental health - How clutter enhances your sense of place and connection and untidiness inspires creativity - How laziness can improve your relationships.Be Bad, Better is not an invitation to start shop-lifting or cheating but it is about taking what you think are your worst bits and, instead of burying them, asking what they could do to serve you. Examining how society polices our behaviour and artificially constructs the good and bad parts of ourselves, here is a thoughtful and eminently practical guide to reassessing your ideas of success, embracing every part of yourself and being bad, better.
