First and foremost, this book is hilarious. If you don't read the book to actually change how many f*cks you give, read it because the author is a hoot. (Ugh, did I just use "a hoot" to describe somebody? Oh well #notsorry).

More than the humor though, you'll also learn some valid and smart techniques on how to feel less obligated to do things and truly do the things for which you give a f*ck. In the author's words, managing your F*ck Budget.

The book gets a little repetitive after a while and you get the gist of the message pretty quickly. Maybe a series of blogs or articles was a better format; but still some great content and genuine belly laughs along the way.… (altro)

Some people live in the self-help section. I vacation there. I have won friends and influenced people, I have thought and grown rich, I have art of warred, I have seven habited, and I have Marie Kondoed. But I have never tried not giving an F. Sarah Knight has written several books about not giving an F, culminating in this gem: “You Do You.” The author takes us on a witty, irreverent journey dismantling the hold that other people have on us. She examines the social contract as a basis of expectations and gives us examples of how to escape them. Sarah isn’t going to smile more and neither should you if you don’t feel like it. Even through the snarky tone of the book, the author sincerely discusses how she copes with her own anxieties which serves as a reality check in allowing other people’s expectations to cause us stress. As RuPaul says, “What you think of me is none of my business.”
