INTERVIEW INTRO
We’ve got a very exciting interview for you. My guest today is Bart Smith, author of Break Through Personal B.S., a bold, funny, practical, and highly personal self-help book about the B.S. people tolerate, repeat, ignore, believe, or tell themselves in everyday life.
Bart says personal B.S. shows up in more places than most people realize — in your body, mind, faith, heart, habits, choices, excuses, attitude, relationships, health, confidence, boundaries, and future. Some of it comes from the world. Some of it comes from other people. But the most dangerous B.S., according to Bart, is the personal kind — the kind hiding inside your own thinking, patterns, decisions, fears, excuses, and daily behavior.
In this book, Bart tackles four major areas of life: BODY, MIND, FAITH, and HEART. He talks about taking better care of yourself, Bartizing your brain and attitude, strengthening your faith and purpose, protecting your heart, setting better boundaries, handling toxic people, and using practical B.S.-busting tactics to start living stronger.
Break Through Personal B.S. is packed with 1,000+ tips, tactics, questions, prompts, Bartisms, Bart Builders, wake-up calls, reminders, and common-sense self-help moves designed to help readers spot, stop, reduce, reject, dodge, delay, and break through the personal B.S. that keeps trying to run the show. Please welcome author, entrepreneur, speaker, trainer, cookie baker, and B.S.-busting truth teller — Bart Smith.
