Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of How to Be a Bawse comes an “insightful and charmingly funny” (Rupi Kaur) primer on learning to come home to your truest and happiest self.

“I love Lilly’s honest and helpful advice about achieving happiness.” (Mindy Kaling, number one New York Times best-selling author of Why Not Me?)

“It’s time to flip right side up. It’s time for this book title to make sense. It’s time to be a triangle.”

Everyone - even world-famous actress, author, and creator Lilly Singh - knows that sometimes life just sucks. In this book, Singh provides a safe space where listeners can learn how to create a sense of peace within themselves. Without sugarcoating what it’s like to face adversity - including acknowledging her own intensely personal struggles with identity, success, and self-doubt - Singh teaches listeners to “unsubscribe” from cookie-cutter ideals.

With her signature blend of vulnerability, insight, and humor, Singh instructs listeners to “be a triangle”, creating a solid foundation for your life, one that can be built upon but never fundamentally changed or destroyed. As she puts it, we must always find a way to come home to ourselves: “We must create a place, a system of beliefs, a simple set of priorities to come back to should life lead us astray, which it definitely will.”

Like a wise, empathetic friend who always keeps you honest, Singh pushes you to adjust your mindset and change your internal dialogue. The result is a deeply humane, entertaining, and uplifting guide to befriending yourself and becoming a true “miracle for the world”.

Great Insight

Outside of textbooks and autobiographies, can all books be this short - a few powerful points with some meat on the bones to flesh out the topic. I absolutely loved the book. It touched on relatable topics that anyone in a quarter-life crisis or any point in life really, can pick up and feel inspired to take practical action - removing the fluff from the usual self-help advice and answering the question of HOW.
I'll be returning to this book at least every month as a refresh, as distractions in life pull me from myself and as I stray from checking in with my relationship with 'the universe'

This hit home

Phenomenal book. It’s a short one but it was concise and couldn’t have been better. The chapter about coming home to a relationship with OURSELVES really hit home. Going to listen to it AGAIN! Thank you Lilly, I needed this.

Good life lessons

Good life lessons. However, I may have clicked with this book if I was in my 20’s or early 30’s..
