It's time to stop giving a f*ck!Be calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... and that's an order! We hear these commands everywhere, and we often torture ourselves to 'try harder', yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stopped feeling guilty for not being perfect, and instead simply allowed ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate - to stop giving a f*ck, and just be.This international bestseller explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses - and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break.One of the world's leading teachers of meditation and mindfulness, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too-much, too-fast modern life.

There were some interesting affirmations in the first half of the book, but the second half felt like more of a how-to guide for meditation, which wasn't quite what I was looking for. ( )

I don't even know what the author's point is, half the time. It's both repetitive and vague and left me feeling like the whole thing is a trick or a practical joke by the author. I just couldn't face more than 3 chapters of this, so DNF. ( )

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley to Read in Exchange for a fair review. As I was reading this book under time constraint in order to read it and write a review in a timely fashion, I think that I will be reading it again later. There are a lot of ideas that I would have liked to spend more time thinking on. For me I feel the ideal way to read this book is to read a chapter think about it for a bit, examine how that chapter pertains to my life and evaluate how to implement the ideas that I think work for me before moving on to the next chapter. Once you get past the excessive use of the phrase not giving a sh*t In the first chapter there is a wealth of of ideas and thoughts on creating less stress in our daily lives. The style of writing is engaging and ideas are presented clearly and concisely. I would recommend this book. ( )
