I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual

Too bad she ended up being a pandering bigot. I returned the book. I can't financially support someone who picks up and throws away Black Americans at their leisure.

This book raises a lot of good topics regarding our society. It definitely offers material for a good book club/sister circle discussion since she rants about so many things. But if you’re just reading for yourself, then i wouldn’t recommend it. While there’s good topics, it’s literally just her ranting. Nothing really thought provoking. Especially if you’re a minority, she’s just repeating stuff we already talk about. You can go Facebook and see other peoples rants about the same topics without spending money on a book

I really appreciate how she tackles tough subjects thoroughly, with humor, but without avoiding the uncomfortable truth of each matter. As a white person who's been trying to educate myself on these issues so I can be more inclusive, respectful and considerate of the experiences people of color have that I have been ignorant about, this book was pivotal. It helped me to connect some dots and finally understand perspectives that were unclear to me before. She also provided some history I straight up didn't even know about! I've recommended it to my friends and community in hopes that we can all do better. I also really appreciation how Luvvie communicated what's not been done well in our culture for centuries in a way that did not leave me feeling ashamed, but rather encouraged that I not only can, but have a responsibility to use my privilege and a better idea of HOW to actually do that.

I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual  I had no expectations going into Luvvie Ajayi's book outside of, "I dig the title." The initial chapters go by quick and are a mix of "oh, those are funny observations" and then it gets into deeper territories.Do not read if you were one of those glad that To Kill A Mockingbird was removed from schools as it made people uncomfortable. Luvvie hits on rape culture, white privilege, and a host of other elements including how feminism is often eating itself as it generally only pulls together for white women who are shocked when people of other cultures and nationalities aren't behind them.Sadly, in the year 2017, she could quickly make a sequel to this book that would have even more examples drawn from the real world.Throughout it all through her writing style maintains it's humor and entertaining value with no apologies. Well done and a solid read.

I, like many, have been following Luvvie for years! She's my cousin in my head, my best friend in my head and my love for her and her work goes beyond social media. I found her back in 2007 through another one of my favorites, Ms. Jia. Her humor was needed during my darkest days as I mourned the loss of my mother. Her blog was my go-to when I needed a laugh after crying many nights. Ever since, I've turned to her when I needed a laugh, a good read or simply to just hang out via Luvvnation. Her book represents her and all we've come to love about her. She has created this safe space where she can speak out about injustices without losing her funny. Despite her rising star, she has managed to stay true to herself and to her fan base. I like to think Luvvnation is more than just fans, we're this huge e-family, rooting for our favorite cousin. Recently I lost my grandmother and once again, I turned to Luvvie for that much needed laugh. She didnt let me down, nor does this book. Its funny. Its like having cheap wine with my favorite cousin, laughing until my sides hurt. She's dope, simply.

The title grabbed my attention immediately, and after reading the intro, I purchased it.I started reading it last night at 11, which was a HUGE mistake. From the first page of "Part 1. Life" I started laughing so hard that tears were running down my face, and I was hooked. I could not stop reading -- although I had to pause frequently to wipe away the tears that were clouding my vision.It is absolutely the most hilarious book I've read in years. Luvvie Ajayi writes with a hip, bright style that calls out for the ridiculous, inconsiderate and stupid things that people do all the time. She includes herself in the calling-put process.Long story short, I stayed up reading until after 1 a.m., which confirms my membership in Team Bad-Decision Making. I highly recommend this book.

After reading the many glowing reviews for this book, I was expecting a light-hearted, funny commentary on today's society. However, I was instantly let down and couldn't even get through the entire first half before being too irritated to continue! If you are the kind of person that finds "adulting" to be difficult, or the kind of person that thinks it's hilarious to talk about how hard "adulting" is, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, save your hard earned money and skip it.

Luvvie is honest and funny in her observations about her native country, Nigeria, and the United States. She turns the current bromide--"Let's not judge"--on its head when she tells us about ourselves (and herself). I said the girl is honest, oh! With her opinions about race, body image, personal hygiene or lack of, sex, etc, Luvvie will have you laughing out loud. Friends and people you never saw before in your life, will want to snatch this book from you to find out what's so funny. Nothing is off limits in I'm Judging You.

The author clearly feels comfortable with herself, which is healthy, and I like it.Some of the chapters are quite amusing and nice to read. But this book left me wonder how it is to produce a positive change by harshly judging others? It refers to stand up comedians who laugh and obese people, and it does it by telling them that perhaps they should shut up - to me the two behaviours are exactly equal, I'm afraid. Judging obese people for being obese, and judging stand up comedians for being stand up comedians is the same to me - both earn money on judging others, which is not exactly helpful either way.So I'm unsure what values this book promotes.Too late to return on kindle, sadly.

I don't know if I've ever read a book before where I've spent as much time as I did with this mumbling "oh my god, yes" under my breath. The under 25's will find this easy to relate to; and the writing style is enjoyable, engaging, and entertaining for all. I flipped through some sections that got a bit tedious or ranty (e.g. hashtags—I mean, I wrote my undergrad thesis on hashtags, so maybe I've just had enough at this point) but overall an enjoyable and relevant read.

Wisdom in a tidy package! A woman after my heart. She moved to the US around a similar age and time I moved to the UK. The same side-eyeing and moral high-ground. Life is not easy but we shouldn't make it harder for others by being shady!I highly recommend this book. Everyone should read this. And watch her TED talk!

Sooo so funny, well worth a read for anyone who has a lot of invoices opinions about people and the things they do.Even though it isn't my usual type of book I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and at some points laughed so hard my stomach aches!

An interesting book of Luvvie's observations and opinions that made me laugh, nod, and more than once raise my hand and say yes. I didn't agree with everything she wrote, but she gave me something to contemplate.
