This book, full of counterintuitive suggestions that often make great sense, is a pleasure to read and worthy of rereading. Like I sometimes get the blinkers on in such an intense way that I can lose perspective on things around me.

It's about taking care of yourself and not giving a f*ck what people think of your choices (but without being an a**hole). There are many to get through but if you identify your own prisons you can skip straight to your help area. In a world that seems to demand more of our time and attention every day - and makes us feel like we should apologize when we just don't have enough - we could all benefit from a little schooling in the fine art of just 'not giving a f*ck. Saying F**k It is like massage for the mind-relaxing you, releasing tension, giving up on things that aren't working. Trust is the most important ingredient in any relationship for the simple reason that without trust the relationship doesn’t actually mean anything.While I agree (generally) with the sentiment of this book, you really don’t have to read any of it to know and understand its content. Thus, we can say that the key to living a good life is not giving a fuck about more things, but rather, giving a fuck only about the things that align with your personal values. I guess if someone is really stuck in their life and looking to explore an attitude like this, it might be helpful, but I found the concept very simplistic and superficial. In the process you'll lighten your spirit and clear your calendar, freeing up time and energy for yourself (and your Netflix account).

I do most definitely recommend this book if you don't mind a bit of tongue-in-cheek consciousness streaming mixed in with your philosophy. Full of quick tips with big effects, with lines such as ‘Say Fuck It to being happy: just doing that will cheer you up no end’.

The key is to gradually prune the things you care about, so that you only give a fuck on the most important of occasions. When we relax, trust, and go with the flow, we allow to unfold whatever worldly or unworldly magic it is that makes this work. People who base their self-worth on being right about everything prevent themselves from learning from their mistakes. The best book I have read recently is The Life-Changing Magic Of Not Giving A F**k, by Sarah Knight. Practical enlightenment is the act of becoming comfortable with the idea that some suffering is always inevitable.

An] hilarious guidebook aims to rid your mind of annoying coworkers, family issues, and body pressures. On the cover, it might have been cute, but considering the number of times that the author actually uses the word fuck in the book, it just became annoying.

After reading this book cover-to-cover and compiling a list of ten things I don't give a f*** about (Kanye West and exfoliation figured pretty highly), I realise how wonderfully liberating it is to stop apologising for things I'm not sorry about. Say Fuck It to all the 'shoulds' in your life and finally do what you want to do, no matter what other people think. The Subtle Art is all about coming to terms with all of the inevitable unimportant imperfections in life and then choosing to not give a f*ck about them. I’m now rapidly losing interest in this book as it just seems highly repetitive with bs examples of what I would think is common sense.
