Written by 13-year-old Halee P. Moone, The Rules of a Big Boss details the steps one must take to become a “big boss,” which is essentially just a better version of yourself. With a mixture of rules to follow and personal anecdotes from Halee P. Moone’s life, the book centers on the importance of individuality and self-care.

Despite this being written by a teen and written with the colloquialisms that come from being a young adult (which I personally found charming), the essence of the book is perfect for anyone needing reassurance in where to take their life. Even at thirteen, she is hyper-aware of the influence of social media, specifically the impact it can have on someone’s self-image. I think my favorite chapter is when she discusses the influence that someone’s style can have and that it is still important to attempt to be original. She stresses the importance of being inspired and making someone’s style that you may like into your own with individuality instead of just copying. I think this is an important message because it touches on the influence that social media has on fast fashion and overconsumption. Other tips that Moone mentions include, choosing your friends wisely, avoiding bad vibes, and having self-respect.

As a self-help book, it encourages a lot of self-reflection. At the end of each chapter, there are also questions that you can answer that allow you to write down your thoughts and steps you might take to implement the advice she provides.

The Rules of a Big Boss is an enlightening and thought-provoking book on personal development and spiritual growth that gives readers the tools they need to improve their self-worth and self-esteem.

Moone is an engaging and thought-provoking book that works as a handy manual for readers who want to build their self-esteem and self-confidence. Many of us struggle with who we are and reading this book is a good way to step out of our shells and be ourselves. The book will help readers undertake that journey of self-discovery on their own, and discover and become unapologetically themselves. The Chapter Summary/Key Takeaways at the end of each chapter is helpful in evaluating the contents of each chapter, reflecting on the author's words, and seeing where positive changes can make life healthier and happier. The author's words will motivate readers to choose their own path when they know pleasing everyone else is something that can be avoided.

The book is uplifting and filled with good energy. It caters to both the young and old alike and will make them look at life with a new perception and make it empowering for them. A healthy mind and spirit are extremely important, and the author makes the book interactive by helping readers participate in the exercises and put down their thoughts and feelings after each chapter. What makes The Rules of a Big Boss personal is that the author speaks of how her journey helped in her transformation, which in turn she feels will help readers walk in their own truth.
