F**k It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way

Product Information

And beneath all the profanity and saucy jokes is a huge amount of knowledge that people in the East have been doing for years. With the author's first book, "F**k It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way", he established that saying 'Fuck It' was a spiritual act: helping us let go and realise that things don't matter so much after all. Thus, we can say that the key to living a good life is not giving a fuck about more things, but rather, giving a fuck only about the things that align with your personal values.

Some of the authors they publish include Sylvia Browne, John Edward, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Barbara De Angelis, Phil McGraw, Suze Orman, Carnie Wilson and Wayne Dyer. His short story ‘The Folk Song Singer’ was awarded the Tom-Gallon Prize in 2014 by the Society Of Authors. It’s the first truly no BS guide to flourishing in a crazy, crazy world—a truly counterintuitive approach to living a good life. It's not just about organic cotton and transparent processes; it's about building a community that cares. Parkin stresses that by saying "f**k it," we can learn to let go, relax and simply give in to the flow of life.

I think this book I might have to revisit at some point, maybe ingest it a bit more slowly, maybe even take time to do some of the suggested exercises. If I could bring myself to find the book and rifle through it for quotes, I would, because I could not believe that someone actually published this nonsense.

Once you achieve the goal, it can no longer provide happiness because the finish line has been crossed.And anybody who thinks 'just go on benefits' is a solution to not having money has clearly never dealt with the DWP, and has been avoiding all the stories about claimants who have been left to die due to unapproved claims. There is no definite advice on how to benefit from the method but it seems to me that it is a combination of Tai Chi/ QiGong, mindfulness, being "in the moment" and just being open to trying stuff to see if it works. No matter how much he tries to prove that all theories work (or don't work) in the same way, he still ends up picking one and sticking to it in the end. Hilarious, confronting and damn refreshing, it’s more than a practical guidebook to choosing what’s important or unimportant in our lives, it’s a brutally honest and much needed reality check about our personal problems, fears and expectations.

I almost can't help but feel that this writing style was a conscious decision - even the foreword lampshades the fact that a true "f--- it" philosophy follower can best express their dedication to the philosophy by churning out a slap-dash foreword!There is a brief section on diet and exercise, which I didn't particularly care for, but it's only a short three pages.

The moments when we don’t give a fuck and take action are often the moments that most define the course of our lives. You'll learn how to shrug off debilitating things such as guilt, misguided obligation and shame, and embrace the things that really make you happy.Touted as akin to Taoism and other spiritual beliefs, the main premise of the F**k It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way philosophy is letting go. So I almost feel churlish pointing it out at all, except that I'm concerned that some readers may be put off slightly by the looseness of the writing, no matter how much I might agree with the fundamental philosophy contained herein. It's funny as it seems such a logical theory, and I do think to a certain point before reading the book I was already quite F**k It minded, but now I can be it in a more mindful way. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life is a 2016 nonfiction self-help book by American blogger and author Mark Manson.
