Welcome to Litsy!

Over motivational messages? Sick AF of inspirational quotes? Done with the shiny happy bad advice that gets you nowhere? Well, heads up: you�re about to get a shitload of Good Advice. In Bad Advice, relationship expert Dr. Venus Nicolino�a.k.a. Dr. V�takes a blowtorch to the shrink-wrapped, �feel good� BS that passes for self-help these days. When you�re heartbroken, what do you hear? You can�t love anyone until you love yourself. When someone�s hurt you? Nobody can make you feel bad without your permission. When you�re just a little too positive? Expectations lead to disappointment. Pop culture noise gives Bad Advice the varnish of truthiness and inspiration. But it�s not truth; it�s not inspiration. It�s bullshit. And at its root, all Bad Advice operates off the same lie: Emotions are optional. In Bad Advice, Dr. V delivers a bracing truth serum, in the form of Good Advice�an antidote to the bullshit, from �Just Be Yourself� to �Live Each Day Like It�s Your Last,� that teaches you to live your life in a way that honors who you are, what you need, and how you feel. Smart and irreverent, Dr. V fuses the brains and insight of a nerdy Ph.D. with the heart of a doting Italian Mother and the artful profanity of a Philly trucker. Dr. V�s signature combination of humor, hard science, and heart make Bad Advice an iconoclastic course-correction like no other. A fiercely sharp wake-up call that tackles some of self-help�s most damaging truisms, Bad Advice is a never shy guide to tapping into your full potential.
