Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies

And Other Rituals to Fix Your Life, from Someone Who's Been There

By: Tara Schuster

Narrated by: Tara Schuster

Brutally honest, often hilarious, hard-won lessons in learning to love and care for yourself from a former vice president at Comedy Central who was called “ahead of her time” by Jordan Peele

“You’re going to want Tara Schuster to become your new best friend.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed

“Compelling, persuasive, and useful no matter where you are in your life.”—Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me

By the time she was in her late twenties, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame, owing in large part to her minimally parented upbringing. She realized she’d hit rock bottom when she drunk-dialed her therapist pleading for help.

Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a “ninja of self-love.” Through simple, daily rituals, Tara transformed her mind, body, and relationships, and shows how to

• fake gratitude until you actually feel gratitude
• excavate your emotional wounds and heal them with kindness
• identify your self-limiting beliefs, kick them to the curb, and start living a life you choose
• silence your inner frenemy and shield yourself from self-criticism
• carve out time each morning to start your day empowered, inspired, and ready to rule
• create a life you truly, totally f*cking LOVE

This is the book Tara wished someone had given her and it is the book many of us desperately need: a candid, hysterical, addictively readable, practical guide to growing up (no matter where you are in life) and learning to love yourself in a non-throw-up-in-your-mouth-it’s-so-cheesy way.

Loved it!!

I absolutely loved this book. It’s both funny and heartfelt at the same time. It is great for anyone who is dealing w their own demons, no matter how big or small to help remind you to be kind to yourself!!

The Friendly Advice I needed

As someone with depression this book has pushed me to revalute and persue something better

Amazing book!

I loved this book more than I can adequately describe. It is wonderful to hear it in T-Money’s voice and in the no holds barred way it was written. She is a masterful writer and has helped me learn that it is ok to appreciate me. I would give this book 1000 stars if I could have.

Spoke to me!

I want to buy this for all of my friends who have self-care and self-love issues. The advice is very salient, I could relate to her experience with her parents, money, and self care. If you had a normal childhood with stable married parents who had a steady-income, then it may just be a fun read for you. Either way, her points hit home.

F*cking amazing!

Great motivation on how to become who you want to become. She'll make you feel like old besties catching up.
