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

Loved this audiobook! The advice is so easy to understand and so realistic - a ridiculous number of times I sat there thinking "I definitely do that". I found myself applying the methods early on without fully realising! Think this will be an audiobook I come back to again and again just for a gentle reminder.

Best realistic advice

It's ok, too many fucks all the way through, the voice is really annoying after 5 minutes so would definitely recommend listening to a snippet first before purchase.
Content ok, quite numerous, more for an American audience.

the voice is grating!

I really don't like the title but the message and structure is extremely good. I was initially put off by the title and blurb but seeing it as a advisory guide. I tried it and found it to be very well structured and paced. The author uses her own life as example to many scenarios, where we are all committed to too many things in life, leaving many things we would rather do to rot or gather dust. It's a well executed idea and I will be taking the lessons of the book into my own life.

Bad title, great book

completely happy to no longer give f&*ks that I don't want to give. Great book.

Does what it says on the tin
