Editorial Reviews

"We've all been there before: using self-sabotage and poor excuses to delay accomplishments is an easy way to screw our future selves. If that sounds like you, then Get Your Sh*t Together is the book you need to unf*ck yourself. As you may have guessed, this book is a genius guide to getting out of your own way in order to finally get your sh*t together. Unlike most self-help books, this one is written with a brutal honesty that truly resonates to the core. Since the content is both witty and frank, it's a great book for anyone in dire straits but finds motivational books too self-indulgent. This book is more like getting a stern, inspiring lecture from Parks and Rec's Leslie—and we could all use something like that in our lives. Fortunately, with this book, you can achieve greatness without the thoughtful b.s."—Bustle

"An honest, prescriptive guide to skipping the self-sabotage and, frankly, getting off the couch and getting going on all those things you've always wanted to do but seem to perpetually put off."—Parade

"Genius... Get Your Sh*t Together is more of Knight's special brand of anti-self-help self-help, peppered with profanity and witty pop culture references. But this time, she focuses on tactically organizing your life and...wading through the sea of everyday sh*t you have to do and finally prioritizing the things you actually want to do."—Vogue

"Knight addresses such topics as ways to manage anxiety, turning negative thinking positive and tackling self-sabotage with wry, chuckle-worthy humor and a practicality that will appeal to those who prefer to dip their toe in the transforming your life pond rather than jumping in naked."—Shelf Awareness

"[Get Your Sh*t Together] helped me stop psyching myself out and showed me how to break tasks up into small, manageable chunks... This one really helped set my tone for 2017. If you feel upside down and like you're being tossed around with no sense of direction, GYST is the slap in the face you need to wake up and realize, you can do this (with the action plan to actually do it)."—PopSugar

"Just what 2017 needs. Try it to make this year's resolutions stick."—Red

"Life-affirming... This no-holds-barred book has your back."—SheerLuxe

"A must-buy."—The Debrief

From the Publisher

03/01/2017
Knight continues where she left off in The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck by teaching readers how to manage the different aspects of their lives so they can get things done their own way, on their own schedule. The key components of guiding people toward reaching their individually tailored goals include strategy, focus, and commitment. Knight applies these elements to practical objectives such as saving money, getting physically fit, and using time effectively. Down-to-earth language, numerous examples, and a humor-tinged delivery combine to make getting it all together almost fun. VERDICT Recommended especially for those seeking a fresh, lighthearted approach to accomplishing what they set out to do.
