"I never know when someone in the audience is going to ask me to take my shirt off. I've got to be prepared at all times." - 🎶Jason Derulo🎶

This is the first time I've walked away from a celebrity book actively disliking the celebrity when I was positive-neutral on them before reading their book. Granted, I was expecting "washed up pop singer pivots to self help books" and got "washed up pop singer (who is also apparently on TikTok) can't close the yearbook on decades old singles or shut up about himself for more than three pages" instead. It's incredibly unfocused and my heart goes out to the ghost writer who had to take Jason Derulo's half-baked stories about his life and bring meaning to them through 2-3 paragraphs at the end of each chapter that somehow connected to a larger scope of meaning within other people's lives to attempt to define this book as "self help" 

Some of his insights are endearing in a "awww you're so cute" kind of way, but most had me rolling my eyes or skimming through the personal life stories by the end. It's like he wants to be a LinkedIn Bro, but has no idea how to do it or offers any real meaningful insight to his motivation. He regularly harps on how success is only number driven, but never once ever explains how to actually measure metrics or achieve the aspirational analytics for "success". 

My biggest enjoyment came from posting out of context quotes to Instagram where I got quite a lot of laughs and reactions from my friends. That part was quite fun.
