I quite liked this book, even though it doesn't really say anything particularly new, the delivery is fresh, straight forward and empowering if applied.
I thought I would like this audiobook more than I did, which may be skewing my opinion a bit, but I just didn't feel like this book said anything that helpful for me personally. It may be because I have read a few "self-help" type books lately, so I could just be late to the game with this one after other books covered similar things. I expected this book to be a bit more blunt than some of the other books I've read, and didn't really end up connecting with the style of the book. Even though it's called "Unfu*ck Yourself", which I thought would be right up my alley, I didn't find it to be as "no-nonsense" as I was imagining. It was a short read, so I think it was still worth it to check it out because it wasn't a bad book, it's just not something I would pick up again, and I would recommend other books before recommending this one.

One of THE BEST personal development books I’ve ever read ... and I’ve read a lot. This was the punch in the gut that I needed to hear. Highly recommend the audio version!!
I liked that this book was to the point and practical. It also helps that the guy who wrote it and reads it is Scottish. I think it is a quick but empowering look at how we make decisions and think about our lives.
In all honesty, I would have given this book three stars if it were not for the unfiltered context and life-changing advice in the last chapter that perfectly wrapped it up. This book is no different from any other self-help book I have read, but I enjoyed the "no bullshit" attitude the author had in explaining his perspective on self-empowerment. After reading this book, I realized that this entire time we have always had all the information we could ever need to be happy and live a fulfilled life, but yet, we just never do it. Gary does a good job of motivating you to do the things you need to do even when you do not want to because our actions/habits/etc. will always cost us in the end. He really tries to get his readers to grasp that we need the discipline to apply all these resources to our lives or else we will never be happy, healthy, or at peace with ourselves. This book was a decent choice to read during 75 Hard because creating that discipline is a huge piece of the puzzle in succeeding in that challenge.
I think people would find this motivational if they are ready for change. If they are super stuck and not willing to face their issues, I doubt this book would help
