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.… (meer)

As RuPaul says, “What you think of me is none of my business.”
