Calm the F**k Down
Calm the F**k Down | Sarah Knight
The latest no-f**ks-given guide from New York Times bestselling author of the international sensation The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k, Get Your Sh*t Together, and You Do You Do you waste time overthinking things you can't do anything about? Do you freak out when things don't go to plan? Does anxiety get in the way of you living your best life? When life hands you a big fat f**king lemon, Calm the F**k Down gives you practical ways to manage the situation, not to mention your anxiety about the situation. One hundred per cent practical and zero percent Pollyanna-ish, this is a book that acknowledges all the bad shit that can and probably will happen to you - from break ups and breakdowns to floods, family feuds and France running out of butter - and shows you what you can realistically do about it so you can get on with your life, stop worrying and wallowing, and start bouncing back. Think of Calm the F**k Down as the friend who, instead of reassuring you that 'everything's going to be okay,' actually shows you how to make it so.

I‘m pretty chill most of the time but I love Sarah‘s irreverence. 😏

It‘s not easy to realize that you are in a downward spiral of unhealthy responses to stress, nor is it easy to retrain your brain. I hit a low point recently, and I needed a recharge. I love Knight‘s approach, because she has been there and so it‘s like a friend actually giving helpful advice!

Plus her choose your own adventure ending to work out a stressful scenario? Genius.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To continue on with the self-help books, I‘m finally getting to my shelf of books with F*ck in the title. These are clearly made for Covid times. #currentlyreading

Nothing groundbreaking here, but it‘s good stuff to be reminded of. Plus, the author is pretty funny.

At 6 hrs 28 mins for #24in4. Hoping to get several quality reading hours in today.

Direct and practical advice on emotional regulation. Not for people who like sugar-coated, sweet talks. She is not a licensed mental health professional, so don't mistake it for theraputic literature. Great for general life coaching. It's part of her series of the No F*cks Given Guide. #quickread #sarahknight #femaleauthor #womanauthor #lifeadvice #lifecoach #quickread #practicaladvice #bluntadvice

I went into this with a lot of doubt. I am not a 100% believer, but there were some valid points made. I do wish she had kept her political opinions/ name calling to herself, as this is one of the things I try to avoid. #wintergames #impromturead #tmskellington #24b42020 @Crimson613 @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid

This was described by the author as overly reductive yet extremely helpful content and I think this fits the bill. I think this will be helpful both to people with anxiety and those that are just feeling anxious. Strategies were very clear and easy to follow. My only issue was that I got this as an audio book from the library and because of that I had difficulty retaining a lot of the content. (Continued)

Battledoll I will be checking out the author‘s site for worksheets mentioned in the book and will be seeking out my own hard copy. I‘m also interested in her other books now too! Recommend for anyone struggling with anxiety. From the title, it‘s obviously irreverent. If that bothers you, I‘d skip this one. 5y

Funny. Common sense advice, but sometimes it needs to be said anyway. A little repetitive, but still worth a read.

"Don't wallow. Don't over think. Seek professional help." wow thanks I never thought of any of those things now I feel better. Also she kept saying 'tarantula'.

Today‘s library book haul brings some non-fiction into the mix. Both seem inspiring in their own ways.

I don‘t know what planets have aligned to make me want to Officially Get My Shit Together but ya girl has been flossing and moisturizing and taking vitamins and trying to work on conquering that pesky anxiety thing. This book (pictured here on the yoga mat I used to Actually Exercise today who am I) was a fun, sweary, pragmatic approach to adjusting your mindset when freaking out. All pretty common sense stuff, but still a good read.

rretzler I wish some of your energy would flow my way! 5y
danimgill @rretzler Well, if it can flow through Litsy consider some sent! 😁 5y

Yesterday was my school holiday op shop day in Maitland. I spent $2.50 at my first stop and got a tie and book for Stew and a de Beauvoir book for me. I‘ve loved her ever since I studied foreign literature at university.

Freespirit One of my old favourites is Prime of Life...what a fascinating life she had! 5y

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anti-guru Sarah Knight presents the tools you need to effectively react to shit. Triage your emergencies and calm yourself. Control how you react. Most of this is common sense stuff, but the reminder that other people struggle, too, always helps. Plus, I‘m here for the profanity.

Time to combat some anxiety. My partner found this in the airport on his recent working trip and thought it was a lighthearted way to tackle a serious issue for me, and so far it has been an amazing read!

Mishu94 I have a lot of anxiety aswell and sometimes I find it so hard to deal with all the stress and just focus on my chores, I end up in bed with a book to get lost in my happy place! I hope you find an outlet for all your stress ❤️ 5y
Nelle1 @Mishu94 thank you! I hope you enjoy your reading too ❤️ 5y

My daughter just sent me a picture from the airport bookstore. This was her purchase!!!

Kalalalatja Maybe this can make her accept your book buying, since she can‘t control or change it 😂 6y
Cinfhen I was laughing when I saw the title but she insisted the book is cheaper than seeing a therapist!!! @Kalalalatja and she knew I wouldn‘t complain about the credit card charge 😂😉 6y

This book was just what I needed to read at this time in my life. If you can relate to an anxiety-ridden life that has left you bouncing from ostriching to freaking, this book just may be perfect for you, too.

“Calm The F*ck Down” by Sarah Knight (provided to me by the publisher) is a tongue-in-cheek guide to accepting the things you cannot change, finding the courage to change the things you can, and using straight up logic to tell the difference. I loved it! Read more: https://pickingbooks.com/blog/calm-the-fuck-down-review
