From the Publisher

Sarah Knight’s latest “No F*cks Given Guide” is, like its predecessors (THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF NOT GIVING A F*UCK and GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER), funny, irreverent, and filled with good advice. Knight’s excellent sense of comedic timing shines in her brisk, well-paced performance. She is completely comfortable with the salty language that peppers her no-nonsense text outlining constructive stress-lowering methods of dealing with the anguish and trauma that can befall any of us at any time, as well as the minor annoying vicissitudes of daily life. (Why DID the grocery store stop carrying your favorite ice cream?) Consistent high-quality sound adds to the listening enjoyment, and a viewable PDF comes with the production. S.G.
