About this listen

A brilliant, hilarious homage to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, showing how to shed your mental clutter for good.

Aimed at overachieving but dissatisfied people everywhere. Sarah's inspirational two-step "NotSorry" program shows how unleashing the power of not giving a fuck will help you shed unwanted guilt and obligations to redirect time, energy, and enthusiasm to your true priorities.

Sarah reveals why giving a fuck about what other people think is your worst enemy-and how to stop doing it; how to sort your fucks into four essential categories; simple criteria for whether or not you should give a fuck (i.e. "Does this affect anyone other than me?"); and the two keys to successfully not giving a fuck without also being an asshole.

So, get rid of the mental clutter, ditch the perfectionism and create the life you want - for good.

Critic Reviews

This book will help you redefine what really matters
The best book I have read recently . . . Absolutely blinding. Read it. Do it (Liz Jones)
Every woman's handbook
Life-affirming . . . The key practice she advocates is devising for yourself a "f**k budget" . . . It's a beautiful way of streamlining your psyche (Lucy Mangan)
I love Knight's book before I even start reading . . . the book works a charm
Genius
Her book wooed me with this line: "Hot yoga? Don't give a downard f***!" She has some frank advice . . . Bite me off a piece of that, I think
Yes, it's a parody of a cult book . . . but it's something more, too. Knight acknowledges the overwhelmingness of the modern world in a different way to many before her
Changed my life. To this day, I think about how it schooled me in the fine art of giving less f*cks about people (and party invites) who don't really matter to me, and saving my precious time and energy for those who do. I wasn't alone - the book became an international bestseller
My new saviour . . . hilarious
This kind-of-genius parody of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up might actually change your life
Light relief . . . thoroughly modern self-help book
After reading this book cover-to-cover and compiling a list of ten things I don't give a f*** about (Kanye West and exfoliation figured pretty highly), I realise how wonderfully liberating it is to stop apologising for things I'm not sorry about
Unashamedly funny, honest and practical book . . . sounds pretty darn tempting to us . . . And it makes you laugh. Bring it on!
[A] mix of Oprah Winfrey-style mantras and Amy Schumer-esque obscenities
Self-help with an edge
A funny take on that very popular cleaning up book, but so much more. It's about taking care of yourself and not giving a f*ck what people think of your choices (but without being an a**hole). This book is kicking ass all over bestseller lists. Buy it. You won't be disappointed (Jen Kirkman)
This year's must-read [self-help] title (Katie Glass)
The self-help equivalent of a Weird Al parody song. (That's a compliment.) (Molly Young)
Hilarious and liberating
There are some really genius life lessons to be learnt, such as ditching "bikini body" guilt and embracing the NotSorry Method.
The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F--k stands out from the self-help pack not only for its frank language and sense of humour, but also because it is about less in a culture of more. (Nicole Elphick)
Perfect for any woman who's finding the festive season a bit too much
Highly amusing
All stars
Most relevant
Great humour and straight to the point, I've started accumulating a list of things I don't give a f**k about and in doing so I'm finding so much free time =D

You know it all, but it takes someone to point it out. A great reminder of how to live life from a better place. Thanks Sarah!

Entertaining but likely leveraging is success not from its own content but the spin off of Marie Kondo. Wouldn't really recommend.

A self gratifying easy read

Witty and easy to listen to. A great reminder about reassessing and making the right priorities

Enjoyable listening
