New York Times best seller

Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings is this refreshing, BS-free self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf*cked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f*cking miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

In Unf*ck Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions:

  • I am willing
  • I am wired to win
  • I got this
  • I embrace the uncertainty
  • I am not my thoughts; I am what I do
  • I am relentless
  • I expect nothing and accept everything

Lead the life you were meant to have - Unf*ck Yourself.

Its good
4 out of 5 stars
Its good
The book is pretty good. I definitely think it’s directed more towards young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed with “real life”, leaving college, finding your place in this world. At times I wondered if the author ever really met someone who just really had a sad life. It’s definitely not as simple as he attempts to present the idea of “unf***ing yourself “. BUT… with less life experienced youngins - this book serves as a good guide on shifting thought processes. As for me, mid-aged woman, with adult kids, I kinda felt at times, “easier said than done”. I did use his method of highlighting various statements that were important in regards to my purpose for purchasing the book. Will I go back and reference my highlights… not sure. If you’re down in the dumps… I would say this is a good starter book to your journey.

    I don't usually write reviews. I have been having some issues I have been trying to work through lately and knew I needed to "get out of my head." There are a lot of books out there when you Google "books" "get out of my head". I started another one until this one arrived. The author is very straightforward, down to earth, and helpful. I really felt like he truly wants to help the masses with what he knows. He does use some profanities, so if you are sensitive to them, it may not be for you. He uses them for emphasis, which I appreciate. He provides real, practical tools to help you navigate through life and make the most of it. AWESOME and easy read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Muddy Intro to Many Ideas
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I am going to dare to be critical whilst still awarding a 3-star review. In summary, this is a great introduction to an assortment of philosophical ideals: some that have been around since the ancient Greeks and some being developed in the modern age: existentialism, stoicism, epistemology, ontology, etc. For those not versed in philosophy, many of these ideas may be new and interesting. Unfortunately, Gary doesn't reference some of these philosophies for your further reading but this is understandable as his focus is on coaching you to overcome yourself not to be a literary scholar. For little more than ~$10 and a few hours of reading, give it a shot and see if you learn something. As much as I am going to be critical, the book has its utility and will be useful to some of its readers, so who am I to tell you not to read it? You should read everything and challenge it--the pursuit of knowledge means to never stop engaging in the dialogue.

    One of my biggest gripes with this text is that Gary seems to contradict himself throughout it and complicates his overall message. He is adamant that this is not another self-help book that focuses on positive thinking; however, it is one of the first concepts he introduces. In sum, he teaches that assertive language affects emotions, feelings, and ultimately decision making and that one should engage in healthy inner dialogue. He also later bashes the quote, "Change your thoughts, change your life," calling it bullsh*t. Where he is attempting to go with this is to say that actions speak louder than words and no matter what you think, unless you take action, your life will not change.

    Okay, this is fine but he took a six-word quote and said it was invalid over the course of ~200 pages. The problem is that he views ideas singularly and criticizes them in isolation; however, if you took any one of his chapters singularly, it would contradict his overall philosophy. For instance, positive self-talk is useless without his later instructions on asserting and acting on them. Overall, I think the overt criticism of other ideas throughout the text followed up with very similar approaches hurt the message Gary was trying to send to his readers. You may find yourself confused or frustrated without having a deeper understanding of some of the philosophies on which Gary touches. In the end, Gary pulls it together but it may take a while to see the differences he is attempting to portray--the book could have been more concise and focused.

    Another gripe would be that on page 21 he tells you that if you are easily offended not to read his book and to give it away immediately. The very next page he claims, "I have designed this book to be as accessible and useful to as many people as possible." Really, is anyone proof-reading this thing? Look, if you're going to be a self-help coach how can you tell the people who may need to hear your words the most, to shove off? This move was very Nietzsche-esque in that he believed he was a writer for everyone and yet no one at the same time. But Nietzsche was writing critical philosophy and engaging his own ideas--he wasn't writing it for them and that's why he didn't care if anyone read what he wrote. Gary, is writing for the people who he believes need help--that is his profession. So why scare away people who need the help?

    TLDR: This book is a bit all over the place but does come together in a way that you will be able to understand by the end. If you are not well versed in philosophy and psychology, give it a go as it won't cost you an arm and a leg or too much of your time. Gary, I think you're doing good work but would encourage you to collaborate with some colleagues on condensing your thesis. I would also advise you to encourage your readers/clients while staying true to your no-bullsh*t approach as these do not have to be mutually exclusive.

    I got to page 134 and couldn't anymore. Honestly, try it for yourself of course, but I chucked it into recycling, couldn't bring myself to gift it to anyone. This book has no essence, some good ideas, yes, but no concretes, and if you're an evolved human it will probably be simply draining and insulting. ALL he talks about is losing weight, getting a better job, career and relationship. No deviations. If you're overweight, you're unhealthy (no medical tests required, right?), if you're not climbing to the top, then you're not living. This is a perfect book for our sick societies, it's true, but for anyone spiritually inclined (or even just truly human), it's probably going to be exhausting. Give it a try if you must, but I'd say save your money and get a million other books that are out there and can actually help you help yourself.
