‘The anti-guru’ Observer

Are you stressed out, overbooked and underwhelmed by life? Fed up with pleasing everyone else before you please yourself? Then it’s time to stop giving a f**k.

This irreverent and practical book explains how to rid yourself of unwanted obligations, shame, and guilt – and give your f**ks instead to people and things that make you happy.

With a bonus section on how to save your sanity over the holiday season, the simple ‘NotSorry Method’ for mental decluttering will help you unleash the power of not giving a f**k and will free you to spend your time, energy and money on the things that really matter.

Reviews

Red
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
Sunday Times Magazine
I love Knight's book before I even start reading . . . the book works a charm
Psychologies
My new saviour . . . hilarious
Cosmopolitan
Genius
Molly Young, The New York Times Book Review
The self-help equivalent of a Weird Al parody song. (That's a compliment.)
Women's Health
This kind-of-genius parody of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up might actually change your life
Vogue
Self-help with an edge
Jen Kirkman
A funny take on that very popular cleaning up book, but so much more. 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). This book is kicking ass all over bestseller lists. Buy it. You won't be disappointed
Liz Jones, Mail on Sunday
The best book I have read recently . . . Absolutely blinding. Read it. Do it
Heat
Unashamedly funny, honest and practical book . . . sounds pretty darn tempting to us . . . And it makes you laugh. Bring it on!
Elle
[A] mix of Oprah Winfrey-style mantras and Amy Schumer-esque obscenities
Katie Glass, The Sun
This year's must-read [self-help] title
Fashion Me Now
Hilarious and liberating

Style, Sunday Times
Her book wooed me with this line: "Hot yoga? Don't give a downard f***!" She has some frank advice . . . Bite me off a piece of that, I think
Guardian
Yes, it's a parody of a cult book . . . but it's something more, too. Knight acknowledges the overwhelmingness of the modern world in a different way to many before her
Independent on Sunday
Light relief . . . thoroughly modern self-help book
Elle Australia
There are some really genius life lessons to be learnt, such as ditching "bikini body" guilt and embracing the NotSorry Method.
Nicole Elphick, Daily Life
The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F--k stands out from the self-help pack not only for its frank language and sense of humour, but also because it is about less in a culture of more.
The Sun
Perfect for any woman who's finding the festive season a bit too much
Mslexia
Highly amusing
Vogue
Changed my life. To this day, I think about how it schooled me in the fine art of giving less f*cks about people (and party invites) who don't really matter to me, and saving my precious time and energy for those who do. I wasn't alone - the book became an international bestseller
How to GYST
The missing life manual that everyone should get at birth. It should be required reading in school . . . Sarah Knight is like a modern-day Mary Poppins for mental clutter . . . And her spoonful of sugar is her wicked sense of humour. Every household needs her . . . or at least a copy of her book . . . Outstanding
Evening Standard
Every woman's handbook
Stylist
This book will help you redefine what really matters
Brigid Moss, The Pool
For practical and sweary self-help advice with no bloody lectures, Sarah Knight is the bollocks
