Publisher's summary

Foreword by Jane Fonda

A timeless collection of philosophies from renaissance performer and the world’s most famous shape-shifter RuPaul, whose sage outlook has created an unprecedented career for more than 35 years. GuRu illustrates the concept of building the life you want from the outside in and the inside out.

"You’re born naked, and the rest is drag."

As someone who has deconstructed life’s hilarious facade, RuPaul has broken "the fourth wall" to expand on the concept of mind, body, and spirit. This unique perspective has allowed RuPaul to break the shackles of self-imposed limitations, but listener beware, this is a daily practice that requires diligence and touchstones to keep you walking in the sunshine of the spirit. Once you’re willing to look beyond the identity that was given to you, a hidden world of possibilities will open its doors.

Throughout the history of humans on this planet, there’ve always been shaman, seers, and mediums who are able to interpret both high and low frequencies and remind humans to look beyond the surface for the truth of who we really are. And who we really are is an extension of the power that created the universe (aka: God in drag). FYI: Most people are not willing to hear or accept that.

That is RuPaul’s secret for success, not only in show business but in all aspects of life, especially in navigating the emotional landmines that inhibit most sweet, sensitive souls.

If you think this audiobook is just about "doing drag", you are sorely mistaken because for RuPaul, drag is merely a device to deactivate the identity-based ego and allow space for the unlimited.

Eye opening

A shirt but insightful listen that helped me realize a few things about myself and where I stand in the world. it's short enough I know I can reach for it when I feel the need to hear what I know I need to hear.

Ru’s words are illuminating.

So much wisdom packed in to these pages. Ru Paul reads it with heart, as if she were speaking right to you. Just wish it were longer :)

thank you Ru!

love to hear RuPaul's perspective, inspiration, and motivation! any insight on his amazing journey is always appreciated from this Midwestern "tomboy" who grew up doubting myself in so many ways. I have loved RuPaul ever since I was a child and he continues to inspire me to be myself! LOVE YOU MAMA RU!
