This is more than just an audiobook. It's an attitude. It's a mentality. It's a lifestyle. The F*It List is my journey, my life, my lessons, my successes, and my many failures...in my own words.

It allows you to stand up for what you believe but also helps give perspective on external situations and opinions outside of your control.
