Victoria x Juno Books
We’re absolutely delighted to be hosting the wonderful Juno Books at Victoria on Tuesday 21st of January. Juno are presenting a brilliant evening with Leena Norms, Half Arse Human.
Beat the January Blues, remind yourself of all the good things you do and avoid feeling bad about ‘failed’ New Year Resolutions with the one and only Leena Norms, Half Arse Human.
“This is the only self-help book that will tell you to give up.
Except . . . you don't need to give up, do you? Because you didn't start.
Me either.”
Leena Norms is a half-arser. Leena Norms is a half-arser. A shave-one-legger. A rinse-the-plates-and-tell-herself-any-residual-dirt-will-improve-her-immune-system-er. And yet, she is determined to live better, build a career, strengthen her relationships, be good to her body, sort out her wardrobe, find meaningful hobbies, act on her ethics and live a full, passionate, varied life. ?
And it's possible. Half-Arse Human will show you how to harness the power of considered chaos and upgrade the parts of your life that really matter… without expending more than you have to give. Trying to be superhuman is out – being a half-arse human is in.
Find out why living a life of slap-dash isn’t as shameful as it seems; in fact, it might be the key to living the life you’ve always wanted. In a world of high-flyers, let’s at least get you in the air.
