ABOUT THE BOOK

In life—just like in martial arts—we get pushed and pulled and kicked down. We get banged up and bruised and stretched to our limits. 

Whether the opponent is a financial hardship, a difficult boss, being in a manipulative relationship, or emerging from a pandemic, Cassetta’s new book The Art of Badassery, teaches readers how to flex their mental muscle, how to rise above fears, and how to reclaim their power. Through thought-provoking exercises and no-holds-barred humor, she shows women how to close the door on blame and shame; how to grow from their Greatest (S)Hits List of life disappointments; and how to disarm and defend against the blocks that hold them back.

“Women cannot break. Maybe we’ve picked up some extra wrinkles and grey hairs along the way, but we certainly don’t combust under pressure,” Cassetta says. “If anything, we’re like diamonds, formed under times of high heat and intense pressure. Each carat that forms represents our unique powers that we can shine onto the world.”

Cassetta champions women that while they may bend, they will not break, and that they have the power within them to rise up and stand tall.
