Summary

Compelling and straight-shooting wisdom for coping with whatever challenges life throws at us from the New York Times best-selling author of Unf*ck Yourself.

When facts, figures, knowledge and everything you think you know is turned on its head, where do you turn to? How does one cope? Gary has taught thousands of people how to unf--k themselves and now he's going to show how to get wise as f--k - so we can sail through the shitstorms of life. His answer to this is wisdom

Gary believes that in order to live a powerful, meaningful existence that carries you beyond adversity, you need something that lives outside of your everyday responses, a voice that's independent, reliable and brings you back to a settled place. Wisdom gets your shit together, through the shitstorms - it will give provide you with pause, perspective and actionable insight aside from the rollercoaster of feelings brought about by unexpected circumstances. 

Wise as Fu*k is the essential lifejacket to ensure you sail to the shore across the morass of waves. The show must and always does go on, whether you're ready or not. And after hearing and engaging with Gary's latest lessons, you will be better equipped to face anything and rise up once more.

Another great book from GJB

Love Gary's style and this is a no-nonsense, cut to the chase, honest guide to life and making the most of it. Worth keeping as a life map to sorting your head out and guide to getting in the right gear and head space. A tonic to the usual American "woo woo" stuff 👍

Another wake up call from the Bishop

Another wake up call from the Bishop.

Whilst not quite as groundbreaking as his first three books (I mean, what are?) this is nonetheless another grand call to action for all who want more from life.

A bold and stunning piece of work.

I loved it :)

Gary has so much good to say. I love his books and I relate to them. Beeing from midt part Norway, his honesty and straight forwardness ( that hurts some..) combined with caring hits well. Sometimes we need to feel hurt or get something in our face to actually get a grip. Not cuddeling our way forward to.. Nothing.. Good thing he also comes with encouragement and tips for the road a head.
I think I have to read it again.
Reason for nothing full pot is, because I could not grasp it all and gary sound a little far away.. (my earphones?)

Play the game don't just watch it on TV

The second of Gary's books I have read, I like it and think everyone should give it the couple of hours it needs. you might disagree but hey, he's funny with it.
Thanks.

Once again, refreshingly thought provoking!

First two books were better but still refreshingly thought provoking in a sea of samey self help books

On loop.

Best self help book ever. Breath of fresh air. Funny too. If it feels uncomfortable then you probably have even more reason to read/listen.

predictable self indulged author

I found this tedious, with only one paragraph making any impact. Very critical wounded sounding author. Not impactful or truly helpful. Saying about change but without indicating ways of how is not helpful. its no better then listening to a drunk in a pub having a rant, whilst being paid to do it

Little dissapointing

I’ve been a big fan of Garys books and approach to maximising your life. I’ve listened to and read all his books and I would describe them as tough love help, shake you up so to speak not harsh but brutally honest. Besides you can’t keep living a lie and kidding yourself and blaming other people for your life! But this book feels more of a rant and also more about helping others and the bigger greater picture that involves others, life is bigger than yourself, when in actual fact the reason for buying this book is to help yourself.. I spend some much of my time helping others! I might be missing a point in the book but for me I was not left motivated like his other books have left me. If I was to pick any of his books the first one, it was excellent and the narrator really made it who ever it was, just had great voice which engaged you as a listener. Honesty is the best policy.
